JCC of Central New Jersey

School: The Brody Family Early Learning Center includes infant/toddler care, preschool, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten programs for 289 children. We believe that all children deserve a program that provides a safe and nurturing environment which promotes their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, while responding to the needs of families. We view children as competent and capable individuals who deserve to be a part of their learning journey. As such, we offer them opportunities and activities that will help them grow and develop their skills. Parental participation is encouraged in classroom activities and the active Parent Committee.

Community: Theres something about this place. For people whose goals are as modest as shooting hoops in a friendly environment or as ambitious as imparting important values to your children, the JCC is the ideal place to live up to them. Here they can become involved in community, meet up with old friends or connect with new ones. There are classes, events, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center with group exercise classes, league play for youth and adults, senior adult and cultural arts programming, indoor and outdoor pools and so much more for every age, interest and ability. As a Jewish Community Center, we are grounded in Jewish values and traditions and believe in fostering inclusion, creating connections and ensuring continuity for our community.

Camp: Camp Yachad ROCKS! Our ROCK solid foundation of camping is what makes Camp Yachad stand above the rest. ROCKS are the values we embrace each and every day at camp and include Ruach (spirit), Opportunity, Community, Kindness and Strength. We serve over 700 campers ranging from 18 months to 14 years. Each summer we offer traditional day camp, travel camp, sports and performing arts programs and a counselor training program. Round-trip transportation is provided, and lunch is included for onsite programs. We are grounded in our Jewish values and infuse them in Camp Yachad programming, but we are also very proud to be a non-sectarian and diverse camp open to everyone in our community.
