A town created for before- and after-school fun for kids in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade
SJCC Mercer Island campus
Kidstown is a warm and enriching before- and after-school program at the SJCC Mercer Island campus, offering children the nurturing and guidance to complete homework and participate in age-appropriate activities that emphasize physical, emotional and social growth.

---

Active Time: Kids need the option to run around and participate in physical activities after spending long hours in the classroom. Being able to burn off energy helps kids refocus and keeps their minds, bodies and attitudes healthy.

Structured Learning Centers: Kidstown is filled with options for exploration: arts and crafts, reading, dress up/make believe play, game zone, construction area, and sensory table. Having multiple options gives each child the freedom to explore their own interests in a structured environment

Pre-K: This program bridges the gap between the ages in Kidstown, teaches leadership skills to older participants and gets Pre-K kids comfortable at hanging out in Kidstown.

Ongoing Parent Communication: Email, phone calls and daily dialogue keep parents aware of schedule changes, upcoming events and Kidstown announcements. Our staff takes the extra time to keep parents apprised of everything going on with Kidstown and their child

Staff: The heart of the SJCC Kidstown program is our dedicated and caring staff. A low child-to-staff ratio ensures each child receives personal attention and guidance during their time at the SJCC. Staff members receive ongoing safety training as well as quality instruction in child development.

Nurturing Community Values: We encourage values such as helping others (tzedakah), welcoming everyone (hachnasat orchom) and respecting others. We teach many Jewish ideals and holidays through the use of arts and crafts, storytelling, movies, books, and food.

We welcome everyone.
