After-School Enrichment
Sponsored by the ECLC
The ECLC is offering a number of after-school enrichment programs for Temple Israel children and their friends this coming school year! The programs will give your child an opportunity to begin learning Hebrew, chess, self-expression, science, cooking, or yoga, all in safe, fun environments with professional teachers and counselors.
Sign up quickly, as these programs are sure to fill up! Children are not limited to a single program, so feel free to sign up for multiple programs if you are interested.
Each program consists of ten classes during the fall term. Children enrolled in the ECLC will be transitioned between ECLC classes and after school programming.
