Jack & Jill Preschool
Where fun and learning go hand in hand Jack & Jill Preschool has served Atlantic and the surrounding areas for over 55 years.

At Jack & Jill Preschool, we believe that learning is a creative activity which is built on ones experiences.  Young children need the opportunity and time to explore, experiment, reflect on their experiences, develop their physical capabilities and interact with their peers.  It is our goal at Jack & Jill Preschool to provide each child with materials and activities that are developmentally appropriate in a place that is safe, non-threatening, and most importantly, FUN!
