Welcome to Our Graduation            Presentation 1              

The JCC’s Early Childhood Department has been carefully and professionally planned to enhance your child’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. We believe that infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers thrive in a non-structured atmosphere that encourages learning through exploratory play, self-motivation and creativity. Each of our groups affords mothers the opportunity to discuss child rearing issues with an experienced professional. It is our belief that infants and young toddlers need to share their excitement, discoveries and disappointments with their moms. In all of our infant and young toddler groups mothers stay in the same room with their children. In our Transition to Separation groups, we encourage a gradual separation from mother as each child learns to experience his/her independence. All of our equipment is age appropriate and challenges the child’s developing fine and gross motor skills. Children learn through their play and engage in a variety of activities including: arts and crafts, music and movement, singing, story-telling and cooking. 

All snacks, prepared and provided, are strictly Kosher.
