Welcome to the JCC Early Childhood Center
The Dr. I.J Rosefsky Early Childhood Center provides a warm, nurturing environment where children learn through creativity, exploration, and play.
Guided by developmentally appropriate practices and Creative Curriculum, our teachers support each child's individual growth while helping them become confident, responsible and successful learners.

Growing With Your Child
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.
