Welcome!

Thank you for considering JELC for your childcare needs. All JELC parents have been where you are right now: trying to find the best home away from home for your child. It's not an easy decision, but being informed is the first step. Please read some basic information about our cooperative. If you are interested, you can download an application (pdf).

If you can't find the answers you need on this web site, please get in touch with us.

Why should you choose JELC?

• Our staff are some of the best around!
• Parents have a birds-eye view into the place where their kids spend their days.
• You're automatically part of a community that has excellent childcare as a common goal.
• You get to know the staff much better than at a traditional day care center.
• Your kids learn very early that when everyone pitches in, the reward is great.
• You can play an active role in your child's childcare.
• Teachers follow age appropriate early childhood educational curricula.
• Whenever possible, special dietary requests are accommodated.
• The cooperative commitment is flexible.
• Safety and security are paramount! Only those badges can enter the building (parents and staff).
