The JCC serves more than 4,000 members and community participants at all ages and stages of life. It is a hub where people come together to make and sustain friendships and get involved with their community. The Brody Family Early Learning Center includes infant/toddler care, preschool, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten programs. We believe that all children deserve a program that provides a safe and nurturing environment which promotes their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, while responding to the needs of families. We view children as competent and capable individuals who deserve to be a part of their learning journey. As such, we offer them opportunities and activities that will help them grow and develop their skills. Parental participation is encouraged in classroom activities and the active Parent Committee. After School at the J provides after school services for children in elementary school and middle school. Children are grouped by age and have the opportunity to snack, work on homework and enjoy some downtime after school. They have access to art supplies, games and plenty of space to spread out, and also have scheduled activities such as art, STEAM, swim, sports and games during the week.
