Early
Childhood
Every child deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn.
At the JCC Early Childhood Center, we nurture children’s natural curiosity while helping them build the academic, social, and emotional foundations that prepare them for future success. Through hands-on learning, creative exploration, and meaningful relationships, children are encouraged to discover their strengths and develop confidence in themselves and the world around them.
Early Childhood Education
Our FREE 3-K and Pre-K for All programs will help prepare your child for kindergarten, while also helping them grow socially and emotionally. Our highly experienced and skilled teachers make our classrooms welcoming spaces for all. In these nurturing environments, children learn through play, experiences, and positive relationships.
First Foot Forward
For more than 30 years, First Foot Forward has helped children with developmental needs build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to thrive. Serving children ages 2½ to 5, the program provides individualized support in a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to learn at their own pace and reach their full potential.
Our experienced team works closely with children and families to create meaningful learning experiences that celebrate progress, foster growth, and help every child take important steps forward.
