Toddler Program (Age Two)
Our Early Childhood Program emphasizes hands-on, active, and
play-based learning. Our new toddler program follows the same
philosophy for our youngest learners. Small class sizes and
individual attention from a master instructor and associate
teacher will allow your little one to Learn with Wonder.
Extended Care is available after class each day. Classes are two
hours long and are offered either as a two-day, three-day or
five-day program.
Preschool Program (Ages Three and Four)
Our Preschool Program has been in existence for over 87
years. This program has been offered only as a five-day
curriculum. Starting in 2006, our curriculum will be offered as
a two-day, three-day and five-day program. The preschool classes
serve as a rich environment for your three and four year olds at
the right increment to meet their social, emotional, academic,
and developmental needs. Space is limited and spots are starting
to fill. Morning and afternoon classes are offered.

Jewish Community
Centers of Chicago
JCC's innovative Early Childhood
programs for children from birth through five years provide a planned
continuum of growth and development. Our Time for Us Adult/Child
programs introduce children to the exciting world of learning outside
the home and begin the transition to a child learning on his or her own.
From there, our preschool programs continue to establish the solid
foundation for your child's future learning success. Every aspect of our
curriculum, including the equipment, materials and classroom arrangement
is intended to stimulate the natural curiosity and sense of exploration
within your child.
