About JCC Early Learning Centers:
• JCC Greater Boston is a leader in early childhood
education. While united structurally and
pedagogically, each school has a unique
personality shaped by the community needs
and staff vision as well as the diverse backgrounds
of our children.
• The JCC’s early childhood education is grounded in
the Sheva framework as its shared Jewish educational
foundation, informed by Reggio-inspired practices
and other best practices in early childhood education.
The Senior Director ensures these frameworks are
consistently and meaningfully reflected across all
centers.
• Our Godine Early Learning Center, located in Newton,
provides a nurturing and engaging
environment for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.
This location features a state-of-the-art natural
playspace and offers various enrichment activities to
broaden your child’s horizons!
• Our Gilson Early Learning Center, located in Sharon,
boasts a state-of-the-art natural playground,
featuring a working garden, a huge sand play area,
large grassy areas for outdoor actives, an abundance
of nature, and more–all of which encourage children
to engage with nature and discover new things.
• Our Hingham Early Learning Center is proud to be
recognized as a nationally certified Nature Explore®
Outdoor Classroom, designed to provide
developmentally appropriate play spaces for toddlers
and preschool-age children. Children have many
opportunities to explore their surroundings, engage

through hands-on experiences in a safe and
stimulating environment.
