We like sending our child to the JCC early childhood program. Community 4, Mazel Toy! "Our child has a great educational experience. She plays on the computer, has stimulating arts and crafts activities and learns to get along with others. And the program is nationally accredited, too. We wouldn't send our child anywhere else."
