UPK at the JCC

Building Confidence & School Readiness

The JCC is proud to serve as a UPK site for both the Binghamton City School District and Vestal Central School District. We also offer self-pay options for families who may not qualify for or participate in district-funded UPK.

With experienced teachers, enriching classroom activities, opportunities for play and exploration, and access to the many resources of the JCC, our UPK program helps children grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
