It’s Back-to-School season and the Jewish Community Center of the North Shore is ready! It’s not too late to take advantage of our wonderful Early Childhood programs. We’ve added extra spaces in our Infant/Toddler, Prime Time for Toddlers and Preschool classes.

We offer extended hours with flexible drop-off and pick-up times from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.   Our trusted teachers have worked with generations of families.  Miss Anita & Miss Mary Ellen, among others, are known throughout the North Shore for their incredible way with little ones.

“The JCC has been a wonderful experience for my daughter,” says mom Karen Blackstone. “She started in the infant room because we were drawn by the caring teachers, their tenure and the J’s strong reputation compared to other programs.

“The teachers make us feel a part of her day because I receive a daily report that explains what they read, sang and special activities,” Blackstone added.

The JCC welcomes children as young as two-months in its Infant/Toddler Program.  Those babies often stay at the J through pre-kindergarten!

Every child stands out at the JCC, says Early Childhood Associate Director Stephanie Gladstone.

“No child is a number here. I know every single child and every parent in the school.  We’re top quality and we care.”

In addition, the JCC offers Preschool Enrichment Programs, exciting classes for kids that begin right after the normal preschool hours.  Our teachers bring children to these programs right in our building, giving parents a little more time while their kids enjoy things like dance, swimming, Budding Bookworms and even a Superhero Training class!

For families who want to expose their children to Hebrew and the Jewish experience, the JCC proudly offers its Masoret Program to children ages three and four. Here, teachers introduce Hebrew through song, dance and repetition. Jewish holidays and traditions are also emphasized.
