Jewish Community Center
Center in Saint Louis, MO 63146
The J’s Early Childhood Center mission, in partnership with our families, is to provide quality care and education that embraces the development of children’s mind, body, and soul. We stimulate the minds of young children through an innovative and individualized curriculum implemented by a well-trained staff in a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment. Music education and science are just a small part of the daily experiences your child will receive. Your child’s body will develop and grow at its own pace but it’s the nurturing and attention to adopt a healthy lifestyle, personal hygiene and play habits that differentiates the J’s program from the others in St. Louis. Physical education programming utilizes the best of the J’s resources in fitness, recreation, and aquatics. The soul is nurtured through living Jewish values and experiences in an environment that appreciates and respects the diversity of the children and their families participating in our program.

The Early Childhood Center presents a year-round curriculum that teaches children Jewish stories, songs and celebrations. The wonderful smells of Jewish holiday cooking, songs of Shabbat, and the symbols and images of Jewish life fill the air. A strong emphasis is put on weaving Jewish values of friendship, respect and tzedakah/charity into the daily life of each classroom. To allow parents the opportunity to participate in programs with their children, celebrations are often held at lunchtime and early evenings. Our Judaic Learning Environment include:
Weekly Shabbat Celebrations Jewish Holiday Celebrations Family Judaic Programs Programs on Jewish Values
