Parent/Child

The JCC Parenting Center provides opportunities for parents and children age 12-36 months to bond while interacting with others in the community and enhancing Jewish family life. As part of the Gan Tapuz Early Childhood Learning Center, the Parent/Child programs are founded on five pillars: child centered curriculum, developmentally and age appropriate environment, open communication, program documentation and on-going professional staff development.
