JymBabies

Children birth to 30 months enjoy our drop-in play space filled with age-appropriate gym equipment that encourages exploration and physical development. It is an engaging place for children to crawl, run, and jump, supporting cognitive, physical, and social development.

Side by Side

For children ages 18–30 months, Side by Side is an introduction to preschool with the comfort of a caregiver by their side. Your toddler will build social skills and develop friendships. This is truly a special class for you and your little ones to experience together. The class includes art, dramatic play, building, music, circle time, and, of course, a snack!

Tot Pool Parties

The toddler pool is upstairs in our Health and Fitness Center and is open from May through October. Monthly, we hold a special drop-in Tot Pool Party with tunes and pool toys and enjoy splashing around on a warm summer afternoon. Bring a picnic dinner and stay and enjoy the pool. For Pool Party dates and info contact Rachel at [email protected].

Aqua Babies

The JCC Swim School offers several classes for children six months and up. All courses are designed to be a positive and safe water experience where you and your tots explore the pool, practice introductory water skills, and learn breath control, buoyancy, and floating.
