The Baby & Me program at J Los Angeles has been a lifesaver for Me. I grew up going to JCC, danced on the same stages, learned to swim, and played basketball same places my kids are now growing up and having just as amazing life experiences and building smiles [...]
The parent fit work out class has been a true dream. To be able to finally have control of my life and body again after having kids. To have my child there safe and having fun while I work out and have sanity is the best thing I have done for myself in over a year. Thank you!
Baby & Me program has been a wonderful experience for my twins. Gives them a structured activity and new environment as well as some time interacting with other children. It has incorporated developmental skills as well as cultural connection with the Shabbat class. The class is not just great for the littles it's also great for parents to have some time to connect with other parents. Overall great experience for the children and great community building.
A parent or caregiver must accompany the child during classes.
