Kids Center After School Care

K4-6th Grade Whitefish Bay
At the JCC, we know how hard it is to find quality after-school options for your elementary school kids. We provide transportation from area schools, giving your kids access to our recreation and educational spaces in Whitefish Bay.

Partnering with families to build a safe environment full of values, friendship, and fun.

From the moment the kids arrive, either on the JCC mini-bus or walking with a staff member across the Karl Campus property, they will find they have lots of options. Kids Center kids enjoy scheduled activities rotating between organized gym classes, swimming, art with our art specialist, classroom fun, and exploring their theatrical side.

As we get ready for those busy summer months, we want to help your family take some fall planning off your plate. Our Kids Center team has been busy preparing for the 2024-25 school year, and we’re excited to share that member registration for 2024-25 Kids Center Fall programs is now available.

Program Benefits

Kids Center has designated classrooms for each age group, and in the afternoons, has access to the entire JCC facility. Sports and games are often run outside in the adjacent, fenced courtyard or in our ample gym space.

Kids Center also has access to the JCC Peck Aquatic Center, and parents will be notified in advance if their child’s class is swimming.

Theatrical experiences are available with Pink Umbrella Theater Company, made possible through a generous grant from the Robyn Temkin Theater and School Endowment Fund.
