Temple Judea Parenting Center | Builders of Jewish Education

Temple Judea’s Parenting Center is a warm, nurturing, and supportive learning environment designed to provide a secure foundation in early childhood development. Parents and children attend classes together in order to create a unique bonding experience within our play-based classes.
Our highly experienced early childhood educators help children navigate developmental milestones, encourage social/emotional dynamics, and learn to love coming to school. While children are playing and exploring, parents participate in discussions with peers and teachers. Everyone has the opportunity to make lifelong family friends as a part of the synagogue community.

Mama Movement (Pregnancy & Newborn)
This class will be a special time to focus on maternal well-being through yoga, movement, and community. This class is led by a specialist in pregnancy and postpartum life who will coach and support parents through this vulnerable and exciting time.

Baby & Me (0-12 mo)
Our Baby & Me Classes offer a supportive space for parents to engage in pertinent discussion topics and explore infant developmental milestones together. Our Baby & Me classes are led by a child development expert who specializes in the zero to three age range.

SNUGGLERS (0-6 mo)– This class is designed for younger babies. The focus of class will be discussion and Q&A, with some singing and activities interspersed.
WIGGLERS (6-12 mo)– This class is designed for older babies who are ready for some fun music and movement activities to also be added to our parent discussion time.

Toddler & Me Classes (12-24 Mo)
Our Toddler & Me Classes focus on learning through free play & guided activities, music & movement, and Shabbat & Jewish holiday themes. Shabbat blessings, songs, and challah are enjoyed every week in all classes. Toddler teachers are readily available to discuss topics related to parenting questions, childhood challenges, and developmental milestones. While the structure and feel of each class will be similar to one another, they will each have a different focus for the central activity.

LITTLE MOVERS - This class will have everyone moving, grooving, stretching and balancing.
LITTLE ARTISTS – Get ready to unlock your creativity with fun, process-based art projects.

Grandparent & Me Class (12-24 mo)
Our Grandparent & Me class is designed to be a special bonding time for grandparents and grandchildren. We enjoy connecting through play, projects, and Judaism. It's a wonderful place for little ones and their grandparents to explore, create, and celebrate Shabbat together every week.
