Youth (Grades K-5)
Here in the Youth Department, our goal is to make sure kids have fun (and maybe learn a little something too)! We have an array for after-school activities, from swimming to chess to art. We even provide transportation, extended care and satellite programs from schools in Jericho, Herricks and Port Washington school districts. The JCC is also a great place to spend school vacations or have a birthday party!
Has the class you wanted already started? In many cases, you can still register and pay a pro-rated fee! Keep an eye out for updated classes, as we often add new programs to accommodate the demand.
