Summer at the J
A COOL PLACE FOR HOT SUMMER FUN
For children ages 2½–8, our program is a place where every day feels welcoming, joyful, and full of possibility.
Caring staff create a warm environment that encourages confidence, creativity, and big smiles. Younger children can explore new experiences in a gentle, nurturing setting, while older kids dive into exciting adventures, try new things, and form wonderful friendships.
