SARA WASSERMAN

Early Childhood Director x 9022 swasserman@ssbjcc.org

Our Philosophy The mission of the ECC is to create a safe and loving environment that allows all students — whatever their perceived strengths and weaknesses, whatever their personal likes and dislikes — to explore the world around them, and to become the best versions of themselves.

As they work to navigate what it means to be a part of a classroom and a broader school community, we want them to try new things; to experiment; to succeed; and, even to fail (and learn how to pick themselves back up). We want them to learn to respect each other, to be empathetic and to value each other’s unique attributes and contributions. Our thoughtfully prepared learning environments and teacher involvement reflect the children’s interests and promote the development of social, emotional, and physical skills. A love of learning flourishes in a welcoming and inviting setting that is safe, nurturing, and stimulating.

Our Curriculum We utilize Creative Curriculum to guide our explorations in the classroom. Using developmentally appropriate and research based curriculum is recommended by the NJ Department of Education and is aligned with the NJ Teaching and Learning Standards. Curriculum provides the framework around which teachers organize the learning environment, experiences, and interactions. Creative Curriculum highlights the important balance between applying a general knowledge of child development with the particular knowledge a teacher gains by forming a relationship with each child and family. In addition, as a part of our commitment to quality childcare, we are May 4 enrolled in Grow NJ Kids.

As7 a Grow NJ Kids participant, we receive resources to help our program continue to grow - including coaching, training, and professional development.

Our classrooms are rich with language and print, science and art, blocks, and dramatic play, among other areas. The environment, in addition to our amazing staff, promotes each child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth. Our school celebrates all of the Jewish holidays and traditions throughout the year. In addition, we view Contact Sara Wasserman, 908.443.9022; swasserman@ssbjcc.org the child’s world and our school through seven Jewish Lenses that speak to a way of seeing, thinking and acting; Journey, Divine Image, Covenant, Holiness, Awakening, Interpretation, and Repair of the World. These guides allow us to consider topics that can be adapted and are relevant for children of all ages in our ECC: reflection, belonging, dignity, potential, intentionality, amazement, gratitude, inquiry, dialogue, and responsibility.

SARA WASSERMAN

About The Blaustein Early Childhood Center

Early Childhood Director x 9022 swasserman@ssbjcc.org

We offer half day, full day, and extended day care options for children six weeks through kindergarten. We are open year round from 7am-6pm with flexible schedule combinations to meet the needs of all families. Specials such as swim lessons, music, yoga, and art are all included in half day tuition. After school fee based enrichments include dance school, basketball, karate, swim, art, and tumbling.

We believe communication is a key element with our parents and families. We use an app called Tadpoles as a communication tool for teachers and parents. Each classroom is equipped with an ipad so that teachers can take photos and fill out daily updates for each child.

Family involvement is also one of the core values in our school. Parents are welcome in the classrooms to read a story, share an activity, or participate in their child’s daily routine. In addition to the classroom, we offer multiple family programs and activities in the evenings and weekends throughout the year.

Our bright, modern facility is located within the JCC in a separate and secure Early Childhood Wing. We are licensed by the State of NJ and have a high staff-to-child ratio in each classroom. As a part of the JCC, you and your family become a part of our welcoming and caring community.

We are proud of our commitment to provide outstanding academic and developmentally appropriate programs for our children.

CAROLE WEBB

JCC Bridgewater Tide

JCC Bridgewater Tide Competitive Swim Team The JCC Bridgewater Tide is a year-round swim team that competes in state, regional and national USA Swimming meets. The Tide provides instruction and training for athletes ages 6-18. The Tide program focuses on all facets of the athlete’s development, from technique and conditioning to good sportsmanship, racing mentality and believing in continuous improvement. Swimmers are placed in practice groups based on ability, age, and commitment level. All swimmers are expected to compete in USA Swimming meets approximately 1 weekend a month

Pre-Competitive Program Winter/Spring Session

Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:00 - 5:45pm January 8 - May 23 Discounted Member Fee: $350 | Fee: $525

This program is a bridge from our swim lessons program to our Swim Team and is designed to help swimmers develop the skills necessary for a successful future in competitive swimming. The pre-team will focus on the mechanics of the four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly) in addition to starts and turns. To participate, swimmers should already have basic knowledge of all four strokes and be legal in at least two. This group will meet for 45 minutes, twice a week. Swimmers who are ready to move to the competitive team will be placed in a practice group if a spot becomes available. Space is extremely limited and will fill on a first come, first served basis.

Instructor: Bridgewater Tide Coach Ana White (Limited to 9 swimmers by assessment only. Please contact Carole Webb: cwebb@ssbjcc.org to set up an assessment. No prorating or refunds.)

Director of Competitive Swimming x9019 cwebb@ssbjcc.org

Long Course Training

National, Senior, Gold and Silver Groups Long Course season is the spring/summer competitive season of USA Swimming, with all meets taking place in Long Course (50 meter) pools. Participation is encouraged for all current Tide swimmers, and it is mandatory for all National and Senior swimmers. Workouts will be a continuation of fall and winter training. Space is limited and by invitation/tryout only. If you are interested in joining the Tide Long Course team, please contact Coach David White for a tryout: dwhite@ssbjcc.org.

The Long Course Training Spring Schedule will begin the week of April 22 and run through the end of the school year. Summer training hours will start at the end of the school year and go through the beginning of August. Exact dates and practice schedule TBD.

Spring Training

Bronze, Tidal Waves Groups Work with Bridgewater Tide coaches during the break between Short Course season and Summer League competition to refine your competitive swimming skills.

Geared towards swimmers who are legal in all four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly), this Tide program devotes time to refining each of the four strokes as well as starts and turns. High coach to swimmer ratio allows for individual analysis and attention. Build upon what you learned over the Winter and fine-tune your strokes to stay in shape and get ready for summer swim competition.

If you are interested in joining the Tide Spring Training program, please contact Coach Kellyanne Tomasula for a tryout: ktomasula@ssbjcc.org. Spring training will begin the week of April 22; exact dates and schedule TBD.

About Our Staff Our staff consists of highly trained, certified, experienced and professional lifeguards, American Red Cross Water Safety instructors, coaches and directors. Our staff takes pride in the programs, quality and cleanliness of our fantastic facility. No matter which program you or your child is involved in, you can be assured that you are receiving excellent and appropriate instruction and supervision. There is always at least one lifeguard on duty to ensure that you, your family and your guests are safe and that the pool area is clean and organized. Lifeguards can answer your general questions regarding policies and schedules.

Bubble/Outdoor Pool Our bubble pool is a 5 lane, 33 yard competitive-style pool.

This pool is primarily utilized by our swim team, the JCC Bridgewater Tide, from mid-September to mid-May. The bubble structure is taken down for the summer for our Summer Swim Club. The pool features an intermediate pool which ranges from 1-3 feet, the main pool 3-6 feet with slide, and two kiddie pools that are one foot deep.

The pool is kept at 82 degrees year round. The bubble/ outdoor pool has a commercial salt sanitization system and also uses UV technology to keep the pool water as clean as possible.

Group Swim Lessons About Our Pools Indoor Pool

The Indoor Pool is a 5 lane, 25 yard (75’) competitive-style pool. This pool is open year round to all holding a JCC membership. The depth in the zero access area of the pool goes from zero to 4 feet, and the main part of the pool goes to 6 feet in depth. Our indoor pool is the only pool in the area running on a salt sanitization system. Feel the difference! Our indoor pool also uses UV technology to maintain the highest standards of water chemistry. The water temperature is maintained at a relaxing 84 degrees.

Lessons are held in our indoor pool year round.

Eddie Portnoy, Bad Rabbi Thursday, January 11 • 7:00pm Fee: $10

Really??? Bad Rabbi??? No Way! True stories plucked right out of the Yiddish papers from the late 18th Century to early 20th Century, Eddy introduces us to thieves, wrestlers, poets, and beauty queens, and all their misadventures! Part journalism, part “Jerry Springer”, get ready to laugh and be entertained by a bit of history not so easily found.

Eddy Portnoy is an expert on Jewish popular culture, and has an MA in Yiddish from Columbia and a PhD in Jewish history from JTS. He has taught at JTS and Rutgers, and lectured worldwide.

Yvette Corporon, Something Beautiful Happened A Story of Survival, Faith and Courage in the Face of Evil Thursday, January 18 • 7:00pm Fee: $10

Seventy years after her grandmother helped hide a Jewish family on a Greek island during World War II, Yvette Corporon sets out to track down their descendants, and discovers a new way to understand tragedy, forgiveness and the power of kindness. In beautifully told interweaving storylines, the past and present come together in a nuanced, heartfelt story about the power of faith, the importance of kindness, and the courage to stand up for what’s right in the face of evil.

Yvette Corporon is a three-time Emmy Award winning writer, author and producer. She has received the Silurian Award for Excellence in Journalism and the NYC Council & Comptroller’s Award for Greek Heritage & Culture.

Abigail Pogrebin, My Jewish Year 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew Thursday, February 8 • 7:00pm Fee: $10

Whether you’re seeking an accessible, digestible roadmap for Jewish life, or a fresh take on what you have been practicing for a lifetime, Abigail’s journey will leave you educated, charmed and inspired.

She had great teachers- over 60 rabbis - whose wisdoms are woven throughout Abigail’s personal journey.

Abigail Pogrebin is a former producer for 60 Minute, and she moderates her own interview series at the JCC Manhattan.

Marilyn Simon Rothstein, Lift and Separate Thursday, February 22 • 7:00pm Fee: $10

This novel tells the story of a Jewish mother of three grown children whose husband left her for a younger model, tries her best to conquer family weddings by herself, divided loyal-ties, and the news that her husband’s pretty young chippy is now pregnant…oy!!!

It’s time for her to pull herself up by her lacy bra straps and find a way to begin life again, second time around! Marilyn does a great job cramming in lots of hilarious scenarios for everyone to discuss!

Marilyn Simon Rothstein has owned an advertising agency for 25 years, became an adult bat mitzvah (achieving her lifelong goal of chanting from the Torah), and happily married a nice Jewish man.

Phoenix Schneider Come Support Our LGBTQ Community!

Wednesday, April 25 • 7:00pm Fee: $10

Learn what LGBTQ means, the broad spectrum of gender and sexual orientation, and how we can best support loved ones in their expressed identity. This is the time for education and Q & A!! The program is open to one and all.

Carmel is looking for love, but is tired of being judged by appear-ance and dress code. By the time she meets Miki, the newspaper boy, she is willing to hide certain details about herself in order to put him to the test. Can Mikipass Carmel’s defenses?

11 Minutes

A military ambulance is called to evacuate a seriously wounded young soldier and bring him to a helicopter pad where he will be taken to the hospital.

Aboard the ambulance there is a staff of three young soldiers, one of whom is Karen, a young female paramedic on her first tour of duty. Faced with life and death situations in the ambulance, Karen will either succeed in bringing her emo-tions and fears under control or fail, and be responsible for the death of a fellow soldier.

The Invitation

Hanna, a special needs 37 year old, shows a moving and philosophical insight into her situation. She lives in protective housing, follows her daily routine and hopes for love. Earning well below the minimum wage in the kitchens of a government ministry, Hanna applies for a re-evaluation of her salary in the light of her high level of competence at work. The film accompanies her through her hardest and happiest moments.

This program is supported by the Irma Horowitz Endowment Fund.

Phoenix Schneider, MSW, is a trans activist and social worker who has worked in the nonprofit sector since 2000. Phoenix specializes in program development and direct services with the LGBTQ communities.
