  • Homework help is built into our after-school schedule, providing a quiet, supportive environment where kids can focus and get their work done. Our staff offers guidance and encouragement, ensuring students understand their assignments without feeling overwhelmed. This way, families can enjoy more quality time together at home, knowing homework is taken care of!

  • If they don’t have homework or need a break, they can use this time to color, relax, and unwind in a calm environment.

  • Camp-inspired learning is a hands-on, experiential approach that makes Jewish education engaging, interactive, and fun—just like summer camp! Through games, storytelling, creative projects, and group activities, kids connect with Jewish values, traditions, and each other in a joyful and meaningful way.

  • Your child will learn Jewish values, culture, holidays, and Hebrew language through hands-on activities, creative projects, and interactive experiences. They’ll build friendships, develop social-emotional skills, and connect with Jewish life in a fun and supportive environment.
