FALL 2024 AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT CLASSES
REGISTRATION OPENS: AUGUST 6, 11AM (Jewish for Good members) / AUGUST 8, 11AM (general public)
Designed for tots through teens, our after-school enrichment programs cater to a breadth of interests and take full advantages of our campus’s beautiful fields, classrooms, and fitness spaces. Preschool families please note: All participants must be toilet trained or have a parent/guardian present in case of accidents.
Fall 2024 after-school enrichment classes begin the week of September 16 and end the week of December 2. There will be no classes the weeks of September 30 and November 25. Make-up classes will be held the week of December 9.
Reminder: please choose classes based on grade level. For example, a five-year-old preschooler should enroll in Preschool classes and a five-year-old kindergartener should enroll in Elementary classes.
For families who have students in the Lerner Day School, we will be able to pick up your student from Lerner’s AfterCrew and walk them to and from Jewish for Good’s Enrichment classes. Please make a note of this during registration.
