Kidspace (Drop-in Childcare)

Kidspace (drop-in childcare for members)

Children 6 months–8 years: Saturdays and Sundays, 7:30–12:30 pm

We are delighted to bring back childcare to the J so members with young children can utilize our facility while ensuring their kids are stimulated, safe, and socializing!

Kidspace has differentiated, age-appropriate activities that help each child feel comfortable. Your children can expect to have fun with singalongs, crafts, and more. Kidspace is a place where the youngest children learn to separate from their parents in a nurturing place, and older kids engage in their constant discovery of the world.

My husband and I were thrilled when the JCC brought back Kidspace! We often use it for our 5 and 7-year-old boys while we get in a workout, and then like to sit and have coffee together and catch up on some emails. Weekend mornings at Kidspace are wonderful. The boys play games and always leave with a cute art project that they worked on with the Kidspace staff. My kids love it.—Jocelyn
