I cannot say enough wonderful things about Early Childhood program. Under the leadership of Debra Kessler, the director, this department truly exemplifies what high-quality early childhood education should look like. Debra and her staff consistently go above and beyond to support not only the children, but the families as well. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care are evident in every interaction. They are proactive in identifying and mitigating issues before they become concerns, and when challenges do arise, they handle them thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with clear communication. Families are never left guessing — the team provides guidance, reassurance, and practical solutions that make a real difference. What truly stands out is their availability and responsiveness. Debra and her team are always accessible, willing to answer questions, provide updates, and offer support. They understand that early education is a partnership with families, and they foster that partnership with transparency, empathy, and consistency. Debra, in particular, is the glue that keeps everything together. Her steady leadership, calm presence, and commitment to excellence create a strong foundation for both staff and families. She leads with integrity and heart, ensuring that the program runs smoothly while maintaining a culture of respect, accountability, and care. Her ability to balance administrative leadership with genuine compassion makes a lasting impact on everyone involved. I highly recommend this program to any family looking for a safe, structured, and caring environment for their child.

I rejoined the JCC a few months ago and I really enjoy the facilities, the pool, steam room, sauna, workout area, and cardio. My family is also likes the JCC and compliment them on how clean and well maintained it is. I have taken a few classes which were really good and the teachers are personable. I plan on joining some of the programs they offer. This is a true community. I highly recomment the JCC.

Great place for families and individuals for gym, pool, workout classes, and cultural activities. It has a very welcoming vibe and everyone is very friendly. Found out about this place through my neighbor. I never would’ve known about it otherwise. It is very hidden. It’s closer than my previous gym so much more convenient to get to. Wish the Friday hours were later but I understand since it’s a Jewish center. Great workout classes and instructors. Can’t wait to try more of them. Def would recommend.

Not pleasant front desk. The security bosses people around and ranks you based on your skin color. Picking up at rush hour is a pain in the neck.

My downtime place where I go work out at the gym then go do a few laps swimming and then some jacuzzi time. Definitely recommend this establishment has a lot of things going on and extremely clean.
