Preschool

Children grow through exploration, creativity, and play-based learning in a warm, nurturing environment here at the JCC. Our licensed teachers guide each child’s academic, social, emotional, and physical development while fostering confidence, curiosity, and lasting friendships.

Jewish values are woven into daily experiences through kindness, Shabbat, and tzedakah, helping children develop empathy, pride, and a strong sense of community. Families are true partners in their child’s growth, supported by flexible scheduling, transportation to and from our East Hills campus, and fresh meals from our on-site café. Our programs are licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.

Vacation Camps

Early Childhood Vacation Camps offer children currently enrolled in our 3’s and 4’s programs, a fun and engaging way to spend their day in a familiar, nurturing environment during school breaks.

Children enjoy a variety of hands-on activities including arts and crafts, cooking and baking, music and movement, imaginative play, and climbing and building in our indoor gymnasium. These special camp days keep children active, creative, and connected with friends while providing families with reliable care.
