School's Out!
Oh, no! It's spring break, a teacher workday, or a snow day. And no matter what, you have to go to work.

It's ok. Take a deep breath. Then, call the Shaw JCC. If your kids are out of school, we've got a great program planned. Pack a parve lunch (what's that?) and a swimsuit and stop worrying. You can drop your kids off as early as 7 am and pick them up as late as 6 pm. In between, they'll have a great day. Want to know more? Call us at 330-835-0020.

School Age Child Care (SACC)

Need to get off to an early start in the morning? Is afterschool programming a challenge? The Shaw JCC has just the before and after school program for you. When the alarm rings in the morning and the school bell rings at the end of the day the JCC SACC programs provide before and after school adventures that include breakfast, healthy snacks, homework time, and supervised play.

School Age Childcare is a state licensed program designed to provide you with opportunities to engage and explore activities that will benefit your emotional, physical, social, and educational well-being. This program is flexible enough to accommodate children from different age groups and still provide the time to meet the special needs of individual children. In addition you will participate in the JCC's Family Wellness Program and receive information on the importance of a healthy lifestyle which includes: self-esteem, peer pressure, healthy eating, physical fitness, study skills, goal setting, and more.

The Shaw JCC of Akron provides school age childcare programming for students enrolled in Akron Public Schools, Revere Local Schools, and Copley-Fairlawn City Schools. Transportation is available.
