JCC Kids (K-5)
In the JCC Kids After School program, children of all traditions build community and develop values rooted in Jewish culture. This 5-star program serves children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
JCC Kids After-School
Each afternoon at JCC Kids includes a healthy snack, physical activity (outside as much as possible!), and unique enrichment including crafts, games, and STEAM activities. Shabbat and other Jewish holiday celebrations connect students to Jewish traditions.
JCC Kids After School Program 2024-2025 will start Monday August 26, 2024. Operating hours are from the time school dismisses until 5:30pm. JCC Kids staff walk Claxton and Jones students from Claxton Elementary to the JCC upon school dismissal (including early dismissals). Students attending other ACS and BCS schools must organize their own transportation to the JCC, either through the school or parent carpool.
JCC Kids students are invited to the JCC for “Full Days” (8:30am-5:30pm) on most scheduled Asheville City Schools teacher work days and inclement weather days. Full days are available only to monthly JCC Kids after-school participants and are included in the price.
JCC Kids tuition is $440 per month. Children enrolled in JCC Kids must first become JCC members ($60 per year). A $55 registration/materials fee is due upon registration. This fee is non-refundable and covers special events and STEAM project supplies. A completed and signed JCC Kids enrollment packet is due to Daniel “Tuxedo” Smedley within two weeks of registration. Dates in the 2024/25 calendar are subject to change if Asheville City School changes their school year schedule.
Contact Tuxedo for more information.
JCC Kids accepts NC Child Care Subsidies (vouchers). Additionally, need-based scholarships are available through the Esther and Hyman Burstein Scholarship.
