The Children and Camp Departments run year-round here at the JEA. We are here for all of your childcare needs. Our programs include: Before and After School Care, Days at the J, Kids’ Night Out and JEA Camp Savannah. 

 

In all of our programs we strive to provide children with nurturing experiences that will help promote social, emotional and intellectual development. Our diverse programs teach universal values that will encourage children to explore aspects of Jewish traditions while remaining culturally sensitive to others. We provide a positive atmosphere that is fundamentally focused on creating lasting and positive relationships with others.
