Join us for Side by Side!
Come, play, learn—together!
For children ages 18–30 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.

JCC Side by Side is back in Southern Marin!
At our new JCC South location in Mill Valley, your favorite introduction to preschool class is back!
Side by Side Mill Valley will be Monday through Friday with a new time of 10:30am – 12:00pm.
This lunch bunch class is a small gathering of young families with an early childhood educator 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.
In lieu of snack time, we invite you to pack a lunch! We will of course still have snacks on hand – but we recognize the time for your littles!
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.
