Our after school counselors pick up children from many schools on the UWS and from bus stops within a block of the JCC and escort them to our After School Clubhouse, which is open from 2:30–5:30 pm. Kids can relax and enjoy creative play, snacks, and homework help. Children can also join Clubhouse without our pick-up service.
Art and cooking classes at the JCC are designed to encourage creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning through various forms of artistic expression and culinary activities. These classes provide a fun and engaging way for children to express themselves, learn new skills, and develop creativity.

Being a new parent can be overwhelming, so we offer convenient drop-in classes that fit your and your baby's schedule and provide a welcoming and supportive environment for you and your little one to bond, socialize, and learn together. We offer a variety of infant classes led by experienced instructors passionate about helping you and your baby thrive.
In these first classroom experiences, young children will begin their love of learning through exploration, growth, and discovery in a warm and nurturing environment while developing essential skills such as socialization, language development, and basic academic concepts in either a caregiver-supported or drop-off setting.
