Preschool summer PROGRAM
Our Preschool Summer Program is designed for children who are 3 years old but are not quite ready for our outdoor summer camp. Our PS Summer daily schedule includes lots of time on our outdoor playground structure, splashing around our water tables, and running through sprinklers. We’ll enjoy engaging specialty classes including Fit Kidz, Sports, Yoga, Art and Science and, of course, we will have fun at circle time each day with stories and songs along with creative art activities like painting, music and dramatic play.

Preschool Program
Our Preschool Program welcomes children ages 2 years & 9 months to 5 years of age. Children enjoy language arts, math, social studies, music and creative movement. Our dedicated teachers arrange classrooms in a series of exciting learning centers. Children also spend time every day moving on our new playground and in the gymnasium.
In addition to our core Preschool program, we offer special classes, including:
Transition
This popular class is designed for the oldest four year olds who either miss the kindergarten cut-off or could benefit from one more year in a pre-kindergarten readiness classroom. The children participate in work groups, exposing them to concepts and activities that will be introduced in kindergarten.
Pre-Kindergarten
In addition to offering a strong preschool curriculum, our Pre-K program focuses on kindergarten readiness skills; with emphasis on social/emotional growth and independence to shape the whole child.
PEPs (Preschool Enrichment Programs)
The JCC offers wonderful Preschool Enrichment Programs (PEPs) every afternoon. Your children’s teaches will lead them to classes including Tumbling, Swimming, Art, Spanish, Dance, and Tae Kwon Do!
- Days: Mondays - Friday
- Times: 12:00pm - 2:00pm daily
Preschool PLUS
Preschool Plus provides childcare before and after the regular Preschool hours. This special time helps children create long-lasting friendships. The afternoon begins with a relaxing lunch with their friends – a time to wind down after a busy morning and to chat about the day’s accomplishments. The young preschoolers will then take a nap/rest on mats, having their backs rubbed while listening to quiet music. Once rest time is over, snack is served. We also make time to either play outside or in the gym. Age-appropriate activities are offered at various stations, allowing children to explore and discover areas such as art, writing and math tables. We also bring out games and puzzles.
- Days: Mondays - Friday
- Times: Before School (7:30am-9am) & After School (12pm-5pm)
