PARENTING CENTER CLASSES
For newborns through 4 years old, with caregivers
The Parenting Center provides families with the support, guidance, and enrichment needed to raise young children in the city. Classes are designed to meet the developmental and social needs of infants and toddlers (newborns through age 4) and to provide meaningful and fun bonding experiences for parents and other caregivers. LGBTQ and straight, couples and single parents, Jewish and non-Jewish — are families all warmly welcomed.
By registering for our classes, you agree to our policies regarding refunds, make-ups, safety, illness, and more. Read them here.
Please note that unless specifically designated as a “drop-off class,” all classes require that children be accompanied by a caregiver at all time

News about Our Renovation
The Edlavitch DCJCC is undergoing a major renovation of our building, beginning in the fall of 2018, with completion by summer 2019. The renovation will enhance the Center as a whole and will bring some very exciting changes and improvements to our early childhood programs. During the renovation period, our building will be closed and we will be running some Parenting Center classes at the Foundry Church across the street, at the corner of 16th and P. Unfortunately, we will only be able to run classes on some weekday morning during the renovation, so while we will still be offering some of our most popular music and movement classes, much of our programming will be on hiatus for the 2018-19 school year. We look forward to bringing back Power Tots Gymnastics on Sundays, Super Soccer Stars, Getting Ready for Preschool, Itsy Bitsy Yoga, Pre-Ballet, and the rest of our great classes in September 2019!
