Jewish Community Center

Early childhood education - the jcc early childhood center, in partnership with our families, is committed to providing quality care and education that embraces the development of children's mind, body and soul. We stimulate the minds of young children through an innovative and individualized curriculum implemented by a well-trained staff in a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment. Children develop their bodies and are encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyle habits through a physical education program that utilizes the best of the jcc's resources in fitness, recreation, and aquatics. The soul is nurtured through living jewish values and jewish experiences in an environment that appreciates and respects the diversity of the children and their families participating in our program. Recognizing that not all families can afford high quality care and education for their children, the jcc provided significant financial assistance to families in need. Both facilities are accredited by missouri voluntary accreditation and utilize the project construct curriculum.

Camp sabra is a premier jewish sleepaway camp in north america building upon our rich traditions which began in 1938. Sabra is a magical community that fosters life-long friendships, jewish identity, and encourages social and physical growth. Sabra accomplishes this by employing highly qualified, well-trained staff who utilize our unique facilities to provide these experiences. Our families continue to tell us through surveys which benchmark our performance against other camps that our programming (outdoor adventure/education, cultural programming, water and land sports) and staff quality is superior to other camps. Recognizing the importance of a camp experience for all children, regardless of economic resources - the jcc provides financial assistance to make the sabra experience more accessible to everyone. Camp sabra is accredited by the american camping association.
