SPRING 2025 AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT CLASSES
REGISTRATION OPENS:
MONDAY DECEMBER 16, 11AM (Jewish for Good members)
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 18, 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.
Spring 2025 after-school enrichment classes begin the week of January 20 and end the week of March 24. Make-up classes will be held the weeks of March 31 and April 7.
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.
