Afterschool Information
- The JCC has been the afterschool provider at Sawgrass Elementary for over the past 10 years
- While we are proud of our afterschool program, we encourage parents to complete our parent surveys that are distributed two times each school year. Parent surveys are very meaningful and help us improve our program. Key comments that parents regularly share with us are the importance of:
- Safety and convenience
- Caring and nurturing staff
- Homework assistance - while the JCC understands its responsibility to assist children with their homework, we encourage parents to participate in homework exercises with their children
- Our site director overseeing the JCC Sawgrass Elementary afterschool program is a former Area Manager for a large afterschool provider
The JCC offers a sports enrichment "Playball" that includes structured lessons for soccer,baseball and more. You may enroll your child directly at the afterschool front desk and provide the enrichment fee to the site director. Please ask the site director for further details.
