The Jewish Community Center has provided a safe and loving environment in which children from diverse backgrounds are exposed to a wide variety of life-enriching experiences.
The Early Childhood program is a place of learning influenced by its Jewish heritage and committed to the principles of social justice and respect for the uniqueness of all individuals.
Activities are carefully chosen for specific age groups and tailored for individual development.
A separate enclosed outdoor play area ensures that your child will get plenty of fresh air and exercise.
Our warm and creative environment fosters each child's emotional, social, intellectual and physical growth during these very critical years.
We are committed to building a warm, nurturing, safe learning community for both you and your children.
Because of the popularity of the program, there are often waiting lists.
Please enroll early. A JCC membership is required to enroll. We look forward to welcoming you and your children to our JCC family.
