How is the Wellington JCC for pre-K and infant care vs the Boca Jcc?

There aren't a lot of Palm Beach County people on here. I do recommend posting this on the Florida forum, which has all the PBC people. I could probably help you out with Broward JCC's but Palm Beach is waaaaay too far north.

They have one in plantation on Sunrise just before you hit NW 11th place. It is huge but can't speak to how good it is or isn't. If you need the exact address and number let me know, I will see what I can do.

David Posnack JCC of Plantation and they also have one in Davie at Pine Island near Stirling near Cooper City. They also run a very respectable/reputable Jewish day school. But shes not interested in Broward (I don't think) so it doesn't help her.

Well maybe she could contact them and ask them of others ones near her?

Thanks all. I know there is one in WPB and one in Boca-just curious about the reputations. I am very confused as to where we should move-Broward vs PBC. Parkland is appealing but I am not crazy about the snob factor. I just don't know how friendly people are there. My husband is looking to open a medical practice in an area that is not so saturated with physicians. We are visiting in February to get a sense of which area is a good fit-we will see.

The school systems is another dilemma-private vs public. I would love a private with a nurturing environment again, without the snob factor that often goes with private schools. So many decisions...

Broward is very, very saturated. Your definitely better off in Palm Beach County for that purpose. About the (private) schools, ill answer in your thread.Well rated public schools in Broward/Palm Beach are notoriously overcrowded (Cooper City and Davie exceptions, also not snobby but very middle class areas). The David Posnack (in Davie, hehe) JCC is also excellent.
