As a courtesy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is allowing certain items for use as mementos to be taken aboard shuttle mission STS-129. Our preschool has been given the opportunity to send a banner into space! It's in the shape of a spacecraft, it would involve the children and connect with Archie Harte (Heart to Heart). Archie Harte had a vision of the YMCA to be a place when… Continue

Dear Friends and Parents of the Jerusalem International YMCA Peace Preschool,



Our website continues to be updated and added to. Last night we had a Preschool Cafe party and today we had a Shavuot party. Pictures of both are up on the site! As before, we have to make room on our main menu for the new pages but all the old pages and pictures can be found as items on the Photos page.



We hope you like the new photos! Don't forget to pass our web address on to all your friends… Continue

Dear Friends of the Jerusalem International YMCA Peace Preschool,



Some friends had asked about donating. PLEASE do not feel obligated.



Each year the Peace Preschool continues to advance its mission of coexistence. Sadly, many parents cannot afford the $6750 yearly tuition fee and have to apply for scholarships. A well known secret is that we accept ALL children that want to be in our Preschool, even if they lack the funds to do so. This is where YOU can make a difference-… Continue

We will plant seeds of coexistence and have the trees shout their voices out, the grass whisper them all around the world, making it a place where people are proud of who they are and what they want to become. A place where every man, woman and child can safely express their feelings, emotions and beliefs, A place were everyone accepts and respects one another no matter the differences. A place where everyone gets an equal chance to be who they really are.



We will pour hope into… Continue
