Looking for a great Jewish summer camp in New York for kids 2-to-4-years-old? Staffed by our experienced teachers, the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue Early Childhood Center summer program is available both for children enrolled in the school and neighborhood children who are interested in a fun, warm environment that fosters learning through play. The program gives children access to many of the school’s resources such as our rooftop playground, terrace, indoor playroom, art studio and state-of-the-art water machine. Children can look forward to summer projects, outdoor gardening experiences, community themed days like “Pajama Day,” and weekly Zoom Shabbat celebrations.
For children who attend the ECC year-round, the summer program provides an opportunity to build relationships with teachers and peers they’ll see during the upcoming school year within a familiar environment.
Juniors Camp Programs
Juniors (18 months–2.5 years)
Tuesdays and Thursday, 9:30 a.m.–11:00 a.m
Priority is given to families entering the ECC in the fall. Registration for Juniors will open in March.
Our Juniors Program offers an opportunity for incoming toddlers joining the ECC community to get to know the school environment, begin to become comfortable with classroom routines, and meet other children and teachers they’ll be seeing in the coming school year. The Juniors Program is also a wonderful taste of the ECC for those interested in learning more about our school.
Summer Camp will begin on Monday, June 21, 2021, and run through Friday, July 30, 2021. Camp will be three or five days a week, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please note, class times may be adjusted to 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. to allow for staggered arrival and drop-off of children. Children may attend weekly for a minimum of two consecutive weeks or for the full six-week session.
These classes are designed for children that have already attended a school separation program. Classes may be mixed-age depending on enrollment.
Registration for summer 2021 is open, but space is limited! Late registration does not guarantee availability.
