Fox-EC-girls-30708.gif Open to EVERYONE!
The JCC Early Childhood Education centers welcomes all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity or religious preference. Children are welcome beginning at six weeks through Pre-K. We strive to help each child develop emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. We believe that every child is a unique person with his or her own pattern and timing of growth, personality and learning style. One of our primary objectives is to assist children in blending their uniqueness and appreciating others.

Our Early Childhood offers a fun, nurturing environment where your child can learn and discover through developmentally appropriate activities. Explore the links on the left and discover the JCC world of Early Childhood. We look forward to watching your child grow and develop with us.
