All NewsNow Enrolling: Discover the Magic of the Jay and Rose Phillips ECC for 2026-27
Finding the right environment for your child’s earliest years is about more than just childcare; it is about finding a community where they can truly thrive. The Jay and Rose Phillips Early Childhood Center is excited to announce that enrollment is now open for the 2026-27 school year. We are currently highlighting openings in our older classrooms, including our unique Forest School and Pre-K programs, with flexible part-time options available for children aged 2.5 years and up. While we are rooted in Jewish values, we welcome families of all backgrounds and faiths to experience our holistic approach to early education.
What truly sets the ECC apart is that enrichment is woven into the very fabric of everyday life rather than treated as an afterthought. Our campus features dedicated Art, Farm, and Music studios, each led by a full-time specialist educator. This means your child doesn't just "visit" these spaces; they develop deep, ongoing relationships with mentors who help them find their visual voice in the art studio, connect with the cycles of nature on the farm, and explore rhythm and movement in the music studio. For parents seeking a deeper connection to the outdoors, our Forest School offers a specialized environment that fosters resilience and curiosity through nature-based learning.

A Night of Torah and Togetherness: Shavuot Comes to the Boulder JCC
Shavuot is one of the most meaningful and spiritually rich holidays in Jewish tradition, commemorating the giving of the Torah. One tradition to celebrate the holiday is through study, reflection, and gathering together in celebration. This year, the Boulder Jewish community will continue that tradition with a “Night of Jewish Learning” taking place on May 21, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. This program is presented in partnership by Haver: Boulder Council of Rabbis and Cantors and the Boulder JCC. Participants of all backgrounds will come together for a powerful night of learning, connection, community-building and cheesecake.
A Tikkun Leil Shavuot, the tradition of staying awake late into the night to study Torah and engage in meaningful discussion. Whether someone has spent years studying Jewish texts or is attending their very first Jewish learning event, the evening is intentionally designed to be welcoming and inclusive.
This year’s gathering centers around an especially timely and meaningful question: What does it truly take to build and sustain a holy community? This will be the topic of the panel discussion with clergy, Jewish professionals and volunteers. That panel will begin at 7 pm.
