JKC is proud to be an after school program that is open almost every day that NYC public schools are open, including Chanukah, Purim, and public school half days. (The only exclusions: Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Shavuot.) In the event that public schools will be closed due to inclement weather, JKC will be closed too.
JKC regular hours are 2:20-6 pm Mondays through Thursdays and 2:20-4:30 pm on Fridays.

* On the days that public schools have half day, JKC is happy to accommodate, and will be picking up your child from school at the early dismissal time. Lunch and dinner will be served on these days, and dismissal will be the regular time, 6pm. These dates are tentative since the public schools did not finalize which dates would be chosen for the half days.
** On these 2 days, although public schools don’t observe this holiday and remain open, as a Jewish center, we are unable to remain open these days. If you’d like to hire our assistant teachers who live locally to babysit your child at our JKC location during these holidays, we are happy to help you arrange it, please contact us. Aside for these two days, we are open every day of the year that public schools are open.
Please be sure that we have your correct email address and open all emails from JKC and are on the parent whatsapp group since that is how we will communicate with you to notify you of a change of schedule and many other important announcements. Thank-you.
