JCC Kids (K-5)
In the JCC Kids After-School program, children of all traditions build community and develop values rooted in Jewish culture. This 5-star program serves children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
JCC Kids After-School
Each afternoon at JCC Kids includes a snack, physical activity (outside as much as possible!), and enrichment including crafts, games, STEAM activities, Shabbat, and Jewish traditions.
JCC Kids staff create a “walking school bus” for Claxton and Jones students from Claxton Elementary to the JCC upon school dismissal (including early dismissals). Students attending other ACS and BCS schools must organize their own transportation to the JCC, either through the school or parent carpool.
*New this year!* Two enrollment options: full time (up to 5 days per week) and part time (up to 3 days per week)
JCC Kids After School Program 2025-2026 will start Monday August 25, 2025. Operating hours are from the time school dismisses until 5:30pm.
