- Pre-K children participate in a reading buddy program with friends from the MJDS weekly from September through May.
- Special Shabbat programs are held weekly with our music specialist, Laurie Herstig. We also offer Shabbat sing-along the first Friday of each month, in collaboration with the Family & Parenting Center.

- One-stop shopping: drop off your children in our Early Childhood Center, and enjoy a swim in our pool, a yoga class or a workout in our Health & Fitness Center, before you start your busy day.
- The Sabes JCC also offers drop-in childcare in Sasha's Play Space for those who would like to participate in programming while their children are cared for in a safe, fun environment. Please note: parents are required to stay on site while children are in Sasha's Play Space.
