Summer Camps

Shalom Baby

Get Connected with Shalom Baby!

clientuploads/Community Engagement/Inner_Wrap_Summer13.jpgMaybe your family has recently grown by one or your friends are just about to welcome a little one into their lives. Shalom Baby welcomes parents, their newborns and newly adopted children into the Greater Washington Jewish community. Shalom Baby families are also invited to our free, monthly Shalom Baby play dates. This is a wonderful way for you to meet new people, make new friends and learn about your Jewish community and the resources available to you. Please contact Laurie to register.

Shalom Baby families become part of Growing Jewish Families, a large network of families raising Jewish children in Northern Virginia. As a part of this network, you’ll have access to educational and social opportunities designed to help connect you to the Jewish community in your own backyard.

Get Connected with Shalom Baby!

Ages: newborn-3 years and their parents

Contact: Laurie Albert, (703) 537-3064 or LaurieA@jccnv.org

Location: JCCNV Romper Room

Calling all Moms and Dads—play dates aren’t just for kids! While the kids play in our wonderful infant/toddler activity room, the grown-ups get to schmooze and meet other families with young children. Come out to the “J” and meet up with old friends and make some new friends, too!

Play Dates are held on the below Sundays, 10am-11:30am:

  • June 30
  • July 28
  • August 25

  Fee: Free

 

Get Involved—Get Connected

If you are interested in taking a more active role in the planning of activities for Growing Jewish Families, Shalom Baby or The PJ Library please contact Laurie. It is a wonderful way to meet more people in the community and help turn ideas into action.

If you know someone who is expecting a child, please let us know so we can officially welcome them into the Jewish community and invite them to be part of the Shalom Baby family. Please contact LaurieA@jccnv.org.
