JCYS Highland Park
The JCYS George W. Lutz Family Center in Highland Park welcomes children and families to a joyful, play-based learning environment where every child receives tailored instruction and individual care. We use an emergent curriculum, meaning lesson plans are based on children’s interests and curiosity – no two classrooms are the same! Each child can explore his or her unique talents and develop an independent, exploratory approach to learning that lasts a lifetime. We serve children by supporting the whole family – teachers and staff at JCYS Highland Park are committed to engaging parents in the life and community of the center.
