Are you thinking about how to expose your children to Jewish culture and identity? Your family is welcome to ‘try out’ our Sunday School by visiting their grade’s class for the day.

Each class has a well-defined curriculum, covering topics in Jewish history, literature and culture. We encourage children to value their Jewish identity and to think for themselves. Our whole school -- students, teachers, and families -- come together to celebrate Jewish holidays as well as for special programs on Jewish culture, community service activities and more.
Everyone is welcome at our events so you can meet us for yourself — no charge and no commitment. Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation celebrates Jewish identity and culture by replacing worship with a belief in human responsibility and equality — for us, it’s about people, not prayer.

Open to children ages 0-5 years
Babyccino is an attempt at two things: building and deepening the creative and expressive relationship between mother and baby, and getting mothers out of the house and into a beautifully fun environment to interact and share with neighborhood moms. Babyccino was the brain child of a need for something simple; a space and place where both mother and child could enjoy. There's a little bit for everyone here; the Jewish Music & Movement circle time, as well as the different stimulating centers set up each week, provide both mother and child and engaging interaction every time. Enter Babyccino: a chic meet for mod moms and their tots.

Babyccino - A Chic Meet for Mod Moms and their Tots
Sunday, March 10, 2019 11:00 AM - 11:00 AM
(Recurring Weekly on Sunday, between 2/3/2019 - 3/10/2019)
Baby it's cold outside! Join Babyccino as we explore the elements of the season - snow, frost and fire - through music, sensory activities, creative arts and heaps of interactive play! Warm up this winter with the light of the special little people in your life.
Open to children ages 0-5 years
Babyccino is an attempt at two things: building and deepening the creative and expressive relationship between mother and baby, and getting mothers out of the house and into a beautifully fun environment to interact and share with neighborhood moms. Babyccino was the brain child of a need for something simple; a space and place where both mother and child could enjoy. There's a little bit for everyone here; the Jewish Music & Movement circle time, as well as the different stimulating centers set up each week, provide both mother and child and engaging interaction every time. Enter Babyccino: a chic meet for mod moms and their tots.
