Join us for Side by Side!
Come, play, learn—together!
Best for children 15-30 months, Side by Side at the Marin JCC is a small gathering of young families where your toddler can build social skills, develop friendships, and explore a preschool environment with their caregiver by their side. Together, your child and you will enjoy activities including music, arts and crafts, circle time, and free playtime in the company of other new learners and their caregivers.
Children play, paint, sing, and dance during Side by Side at the Osher Marin JCC.
The Side by Side program provides . . .
- An opportunity to build community in a child-centered, age-appropriate, social setting.
- Play exploration, story time, music, and art activities.
- Children will experience a preschool-like setting with the security of a caregiver by their side.
