There are six JCC Early Learning Center locations in the Greater Boston area: Acton, Brookline, Newton (2 sites), Stoughton, and Wayland. Each strives to create a vibrant, engaging, educational environment based on Derekh Eretz, a Hebrew term for a code of behavior where everyone is treated with respect. In that spirit, we nurture the minds, bodies and spirits of children, embrace families, mentor teachers-and, in every way possible, bring out the best in our community.

We are committed to the principles of a quality early learning experience, which include providing professional development for teachers, maintaining small group sizes and good teacher:child ratios, exceeding national and state standards, and supporting children and their families. Our Centers have a strong reputation for teaching Jewish values based in Jewish traditions and experiences.

Accreditation
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredits programs that adhere to their stringent "Criteria for High-Quality Early Childhood Program" standards. All of our centers are either accredited or in the process of achieving their accreditation. Accreditation is the highest mark of quality in our field, and the NAEYC standards not only guide us; they help parents feel confident that the centers are providing a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children. All of our programs are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC).

Our Centers
The Centers share a philosophy and curriculum, but each has a different personality, hours and tuition. Tuition adjustment is available based on financial need. For more information, please visit us at www.jccearlylearning.org.
