REOPENING THE TOT SPOT
After being closed for several years, the Tot Spot reopened to provide families with a safe, engaging space for children while parents enjoy fitness classes, work out, attend programs, or participate in activities throughout the JCC.
The reopening of the Tot Spot reflects our commitment to supporting families and creating a more accessible, welcoming experience for members. By providing convenient childcare options, we help parents stay connected to the programs, services, and community opportunities that make the Gordon JCC a vibrant place to belong.
EXPANDING THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING CENTER
The Early Childhood Learning Center plays a vital role in supporting young families and creating lifelong connections to the Gordon JCC. As demand for high-quality early childhood education continues to grow, we are actively expanding our ECLC program to serve more families in our community.
We are currently in the process of adding two additional infant classrooms, increasing our capacity to welcome more children during one of the most in-demand stages of early childhood care. This expansion represents an important step toward growing the ECLC and meeting the needs of Nashville families.
