The Washington DCJCC is a warm, caring place for families.  Our children grow with us, starting with the Parenting Center classes in art, creative movement, music and preschool readiness offered to infants and toddlers.  Many stay through Preschool, a dynamic program filled with developmentally appropriate activities led by our energetic staff.  We focus on a Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum and believe children learn best when they are active participants in the formation of their own ideas and understanding of the world.  As our children grow older, we welcome them back with fun and exciting camps and afterschool programs where they can meet new friends at the J.
