Dear Members and Friends,

YOUTH & FAMILY.............................................. 11

Here comes summer! Soon, the sights and sounds of J Day Camps will fill the campuses…and the gyms…and the pools! (I love it all!) It makes me so happy to watch the children make friends, sing camp and Shabbat songs at the top of their lungs, learn to swim and learn new skills, no matter which camp they attend. I hope you’ll spend lots of time this summer at the J.

Early Childhood........................................... 12 Infants – Pre-K............................................ 13 Expecting & New Moms.............................. 14 Youth & Teens.............................................. 15 J Day Camps................................................ 16 Birthday Parties........................................... 20

I also hope you’ll take the time to look through our new Program Guide – we’ve tried to make it easier to discover activities by age, across all departments. We hope you’ll discover programs and activities that connect you to your interests: poolside yoga, family playdates, films and music – maybe you’d like to enter the Tough Mudder as a member of Team J! No matter what your interests may be, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff, we look forward to seeing you at the J. And if you would like to see a program we don’t currently offer, please let me know.

We help children build cognitive skills, preparing them for success in multiple academic areas, including reading, math and science. Areas of focus also include character, social and emotional, gross motor and executive functioning.

“A parent teacher conference when our daughter is six months old? You’re kidding right? I just laughed and shook my head. But jump forward five years and our daughter is in kindergarten and testing off the charts in both reading, writing, and math. The J’s ECC prepared her so well for kindergarten, that she’s six years old and writing complete sentences and reading Dr. Seuss books cover to cover. I’m not laughing any more. The J is worth every penny.” ~ Joshua F., Marilyn Fox Building ECC Parent • Accredited by the Missouri Accreditation & licensed by the Missouri Dept. of Health and Senior Services • Uses Project Construct® and Conscious Discipline® curriculums-teaching children the skills that foster learning and social-emotional growth • Swimming, sports, yoga, intergenerational connections, and more
