Who We Are
Our Story
For over 70 years, the JCC of Bayonne has been a trusted resource for families in Hudson County. As a non-sectarian nonprofit, we proudly welcome children and families of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds — because everyone belongs here.
What We Do
We specialize in high-quality early childhood programs, offering a safe and nurturing place where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Alongside our dedicated and experienced staff, we provide opportunities that inspire creativity, foster friendships, and support family well-being.
Our Values
We are guided by inclusivity, excellence, and community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sustained through program fees, partnerships, rentals, and donations, our mission is simple: to enrich lives and strengthen the community we serve.
