Grades K-5

welcome to kidzone!​

After school care needs change as children continue their journey through life. What continues to stay constant is parents’ desire for peace of mind knowing their children are in a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. That’s where KidZone at the J comes in!

KidZone provides transportation from school and an afternoon of fun with friends. From playground time to culinary experiences, art, Jewish holidays and celebrations, gymnastics, swimming and more – children enjoy a wide variety of activities in addition to the J’s extracurricular activities offered.  We also offer a homework room so that your children can have more family time to spend at home in the evenings.

how it works

Time

  • KidZone is offered Monday – Thursday until 6:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Fridays.

Transportation

  • Our team works closely to coordinate pick up with schools in the area including Beth Yeshurun, Condit, Horn, Kolter, Lovett, Parker and Shlenker.
    • If you don’t see your child’s school on the list – contact us! For pick up to begin at a new school, we require at least 3 students.
  • The J also offers a transportation only option to bring your child from school to the J for extracurricular activities. Classes must begin by 4:15 PM to take advantage of this option. A parent or guardian must be present at the end of class for pick up.

Snack Time

  • Children enrolled in KidZone enjoy a Kosher snack each day.

Extracurricular Classes

  • The KidZone team can escort your child to any J after school program. Semester-long classes are available – click here for a full list of programs.

Registration

  • KidZone offers limited enrollment spots to ensure a quality program and experience for each child. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and rolls throughout the year.
