The main objective of our summer program is to provide the children with a fun and safe summer. We seek to offer a program which broadens each child's experiences in an exciting, social and non-competitive environment.

The staff is the heart and soul of our organization. At The Community Synagogue, each group is supervised by experienced, responsible adult early childhood professionals who understand what is best and developmentally appropriate for young children. All of our groups are kept small for maximum supervision and individual attention for each child.

The Community Synagogue's Summer Program, in operation for over 30 years, has been developed to meet the needs of the young child. Our program enables children to enjoy a fun and safe summer playing and learning in our state-of-the-art beautiful Early Childhood Center and our 12-acre wooded estate. 

ACTIVITIES: Both the indoor and outdoor facilities of the synagogue are available for our summer program. When not outdoors, the children use our air-conditioned, well-equipped classrooms and building. Some of our activities include: outdoor classroom • sports • water play • bicycle riding • 3 beautiful playgrounds • arts & crafts • literacy • indoor playroom • yoga classes • games • creative movement • and more! 

SPECIAL EVENTS & ACTIVITIES: weekly theme days • and more COVID appropriate activities.
