| The family is an arena in which virtually the entire range of human experience can take place. - Leichter, 1974 The JCC continues to deliver on its commitment to education and the family. PS 19 in West Brighton is our partner school in the Family Literacy program, which enhances the educational experience of students in grades Kindergarten through 3 by involving and supporting the parent through the process. Parents and their children participate in afterschool activities which are facilitated by professional instructors. The lesson plans support the academic curriculum as well as model innovations in Adult and Family Learning. Parenting workshops and ESL classes are also provided for parents in order to reinforce the impact of the family on a child’s academic success. The JCC is the first organization to offer such a comprehensive program on Staten Island. |
