The JCC Difference

Creating Well-Rounded Children
As part of our standard curriculum, the JCC is pleased to offer weekly in-class specialists in music, foreign language and Jewish culture. Children also are introduced to computers, and attend weekly physical education sessions in the JCC’s gymnasium. All activities are age-appropriate and tailored to the children’s stage of development. All children receive instruction in:
- Mathematics

You can also choose to enroll your child in extra enrichment classes, such as karate, gymnastics, art, and cooking. The JCC's Maitland Campus is proud to be house the celebrated Shayna's Village, an interactive child-exploration facility modeled like a village, which is home to creative arts classes for young children and their parents.

"After visiting countless other preschools, we couldn’t help but compare them to what we had seen and heard at the JCC. And so, we made the commitment to drive 45 minutes each way to be a part of this incredible center. Looking back, it was worth every mile.
We would travel to the ends of the earth to experience the JCC once again.”
