The First Steps on a JourneyThe JCC Early Childhood Center helps develop the whole child:socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically.We encouragethe development of children’s inner resources, including curiosity,creativity, imagination, independence,a love of learning and self-esteem.The cultural, spiritual and ethical aspects of Judaism areexplored through holiday celebrations, teachings, performingGemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness) and demonstratingrespect for the world around us.

Help Commemorate this MilestoneFor 75 years the JCC Early Childhood Center has nurtured Den-ver’s youngest minds, fostered connections between families andstrengthened the community. At this stage of our journey, it isimportant to celebrate our accomplishments as well as preparefor our future.

Last spring the Early Childhood Center broke ground on newchildren’s playgrounds – ones that extend the school’s learn-though-play philosophy into natural, outdoor environments.Alongwith facility improvements, the 75thAnniversary Campaignwill provide funds for teacher professional development,programmatic enhancements and financial support for those inneed. The ECC cannot realize its full potential without yourinvolvement. Your dedication and support will allow us tocontinue providing the outstanding educational experiences thatour children and community deserve.
