Parent Programs

The EDCJCC provides parents with the support, guidance, and community needed to raise young children in the city.  We offer Before Baby programs, New Parent Coffees, Parent Workshops and other programs of interest to parents, parents-to-be, and folks who want to be parents.  LGBTQ and straight, couples and solo parents, Jewish and non-Jewish, biological and adoptive, people of all ethnicities, races and abilities – all are warmly welcomed!

The Parenting Center at the Edlavitch DCJCC has been my hub for everything kid-related from early pregnancy to post-delivery and now into the toddler years. In a transient city like DC, the EDCJCC plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of community among new parents.
