Welcome Dear Members, We are wrapping up a wonderful winter here at the JCC and planning an amazing spring, blooming with activities for you and your family.

Before I share some our top spring events, I wanted to tell you how excited we are to be opening a satellite location. On March 18th, we will be celebrating the Grand Opening of the Downtown Baltimore JCC (DBJCC) on Light Street in Federal Hill. Dozens of families have already signed up to participate in our parent/infant/toddler programs and we expect many more in the months and years to come as we strive to connect more families to our JCC community.

Here are some wonderful special events that you won’t want to miss…

25th Annual Baltimore Jewish Film Festival at the Gordon Center starting April 4th and running through April 25th featuring award-winning Jewish-themed films from around the world.

Israel's 65th. Celebrate! Sunday, June 2nd from 12-4pm in the ball fields of the Rosenbloom Owings Mills JCC. If you love Matisyahu, you won’t want to miss his live concert as the family activities wind down.

JCC Annual Meeting, Thursday, June 6th at the Gordon Center.

We'll celebrate the achievements of our JCC and honor our outgoing Chairman of the Board, Neil Demchick for his two years of excellent leadership. We will also install Will Minkin, as the new board chair along with new officers and board members.

Officers

Neil Demchick, Chairman of the Board Will Minkin, 1st Vice Chair Maury Garten, Vice Chair Randi Hertzberg, Vice Chair Carol Noel, Vice Chair Annette Saxon, Vice Chair Elise Rubenstein, Treasurer Debbie Vogelstein, Secretary

Baltimore Jewish Hall of Fame, Wednesday, June 12th at the Gordon Center. This year we have chosen nine honorees including: Rabbi Jacob B. Agus, Leo Bretholz, Curt I. Civin, MD, Suzanne F. Cohen, Liebe Sokol Diamond, MD, Jacob Glushakow, Lee Rosenberg, Ronald M. Shapiro and The Jewish Legion. We hope you will consider supporting this event as all proceeds go to support scholarships for our Camp, Preschool and Maccabi participants.

In just three short months, we will begin another amazing summer of providing fun and memorable day camp experiences for youth ages 2-17. Options are available at Camp Milldale, Owings Mills and our Park Heights campus. To learn more call Dori Zvili at 410.559.3512, or visit www.jcc.org/camps.

Teens are in for some exciting social, sports & arts interactions with the Junior Maccabi Games Sunday, May 5th in Philadelphia and the JCC Maccabi® Games & Artsfest from August 4-9 in Orange Country, California. Over 150 athletes and artists will be representing our Baltimore Jewish community in California.

As always, we are committed to ensuring we are meeting the needs of our membership and the larger Jewish community by delivering excellent service and high quality, meaningful programs. We strive daily to be a welcoming and safe home away from home for you and your family.

If you have any suggestions, please reach out to me. I’d love to hear from you. I can be reached at bhermann@jcc.org or 410.559.3502.

Early Childhood Education Enriching the whole child in a nurturing environment At Owings Mills and Park Heights

Infant/Toddler Program

Kindergarten (Fall 2013 Openings Still Available)

Located at the Park Heights JCC, this program serves children ages 3 to 24 months, lovingly tended by our licensed childcare specialists. Our state-of-the-art rooms are stocked with individual cribs, changing tables, rocking chairs, and toys to entertain, engage, comfort, and soothe the little ones.

The Program is open Monday through Friday, beginning at 7:00am and ending Monday-Thursday at 6:00pm. On Friday, closing time varies in accordance with Shabbat.

Located at the Owings Mills JCC, our Kindergarten is a fullday, state-accredited program that gives children a strong entry into first grade. An individually targeted curriculum is designed to meet the needs of each child. Jewish culture and values are integrated throughout. Subject areas include reading, math, language arts, Hebrew, science and social studies. Our program also includes physical education, swimming, music, art and computers. An early drop-off option is available beginning at 7:00am. Late pick up is available through the JCC Kids Center program.

Preschool & Preschool Plus These programs are offered at both the Park Heights and Owings Mills JCC and provide children ages two through five with a well-rounded, age-appropriate curriculum.

Experienced and certified early childhood education teachers engage children in activities designed to develop emotional, social, cognitive, physical and spiritual growth. Children gain self-confidence, develop friendships, and explore new concepts. Daily activities include: energetic play, music, art, circle time, Hebrew, story time, science, cooking, physical education, swimming and creative play. We also introduce children to the customs and traditions of Jewish life, including culture, ethics, Shabbat celebrations and holidays.

We offer morning and extended day programs, including an early drop-off option which begins at 7:00am. For parents who need the added benefit of extended hours and yearround childcare, the Preschool Plus program is also available during summer months.

Award Winning Healthy Choices Program in OM Our students learn about “sometimes” foods and “anytime” foods by following the new Food Plate. They also learn about portions, vitamins, minerals and the benefits of physical activity. By eating together as a group, familystyle, children take charge of how much and what they eat.

They are encouraged to recognize when they are hungry and when they are full. With daily activities and lessons focused on eating right and getting exercise our students are learning wellness skills that will empower them to make healthy choices throughout their life.
