Health & Safety
We place health and safety first. Our commitment ensures that your child flourishes in a nurturing, safe, and secure environment.
Security
To ensure the safety and security of all children, staff, parents, and visitors, as well as the security of our facilities, the Philly JCC Early Learning Centers are equipped with a 24-hour video surveillance and recording system. Security cameras are in our classrooms, and throughout the building.
Additionally, both facilities are closed campuses. Meaning that the parents and staff are given unique fobs to access the building.
Food & Nutrition
At our preschool, we prioritize nutritious snacks to fuel growing minds and bodies. We encourage parents to pack a healthy and nutritious lunch for their children. We’re committed to creating a positive snacking experience that supports healthy habits for our little ones. Only the Philly JCC Early Learning Center – RJW at the Kaiserman JCC is a kosher facility.
Discover CATCH (Taking care of our bodies):
To help address the nation’s critical obesity problem, JCC Association in collaboration with the University of Texas School of Public Health and its CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) program has created Discover: CATCH Early Childhood. Based on a foundation of Jewish Values, Discover CATCH Early Childhood nurtures a love of physical activity in children ages 3 to 5, and encourages them to develop life-long healthy eating habits. All children participate in our healthy snack program and many weekly activities to encourage exercise including gym, Israeli Dancing, theme related gross motor games and outdoor games. We also offer optional extracurricular activities including yoga, gymnastics, seasonal instructional swim lessons (RJW only), sports etc.
