CSB Facts

In-person or online, the J reaches all children. Our youth programing engages children and teens of all ages beginning at six weeks old. The J’s Early Childhood Education program offers year-round infant care, full-day preschool and an inclusive special education program in safe and nurturing school environments. The Merfish Family Infant Care Program and our preschool program allow children to learn through active investigation of their environment while playing with peers and teachers. For young children, academic and social-emotional learning is developed as children construct their knowledge through hands-on individual and group educational experiences. 38% of our Early Childhood students receive financial assistance.

STARS is a unique program that provides an integrated inclusion-based approach to preschoolers with developmental delays and diverse abilities.

Children enrolled in the STARS program engage every day in a general education classroom with support. This support allows them to participate in all class activities while receiving their therapies in a blended model. STARS offers therapeutic intervention in a natural context, adhering to each child's Individualized Education Program designed to facilitate an expansion of their skills and goals. Therapies available for children in the STARS program include occupational, physical, art, music, speech and language. The STARS program is nearly four times the cost of traditional preschool programs. Children are eligible to receive assistance from the funds raised by the Ball and the Soph & Al Natkin STARS fund. 70% of our STARS students receive financial assistance.
