Early Childhood Programs at the J – Educating the Whole Child
At the J, we are dedicated to providing St. Louis’ youngest learners with exciting opportunities to explore, discover, and grow every day. That’s why we offer a wide range of early childhood programs to meet the needs of every family. Whether you’re looking for a structured learning environment in the J’s fully-accredited Early Childhood Center (available at both the Creve Coeur and Chesterfield locations) or looking for play-based learning at the Family Center, you’ll find a variety of programs designed to support your infant or toddler’s development in a nurturing environment.
Early Childhood Center at the J
The J’s Early Childhood Center, in partnership with the Family Center, is committed to providing quality care and education that embraces the development of children’s minds, bodies and souls. We stimulate the minds of young children through innovative and individualized curriculum, implemented by a well-trained staff in a safe, nurturing and developmentally-appropriate environment. Our two locations give parents in both the Creve Coeur and Chesterfield areas easy access to our program, and our children enjoy the benefits of all the J’s facilities – including year-round swimming and physical education classes.

The J’s Family Center
The Family Center is a part of the J’s Center of Jewish Community Life, serving families in the community with children ages five and younger. The Family Center provides a warm and nurturing environment for families to meet, make friends and grow together. We are one of very few Jewish parenting centers in the St. Louis community and our programs are open to people of all faiths, as well as to J members and the public.
