George W. Lutz Family Center – Highland Park
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 that lesson plans are based on children’s interests and curiosity – no two classrooms are the same! Each child has the opportunity to explore his or her unique talents and develop an independent, exploratory approach to learning that lasts for life. 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.

We ❤️our family tree! Thanks to the artistic talents of Micky’s mommy (the tree painter) and the amazing photography skills of Tootsie Pops teacher, Alina, our front hall is a beautiful representation of what’s most important to us: FAMILY.
Okay, so it looks like good, messy, fun, but would you believe that sensory play can do all of this??
Sensory play...
👩🔬 builds nerve connections within the developing brain, triggering a child’s inclination for and ability to complete more complex learning tasks
👯♀️ supports language development, cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction
🐘 aids in developing and enhancing memory functioning
🧘♀️ is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child
🔥 helps children learn vitally important sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry, etc)
And is just plain FUN!
