1252.0. "Jewish Day Care Near Acton?" by TRETOP::SAMILJAN () Fri Jul 24 1992 00:09

    Anyone have info on Jewish day care in the Acton area?  My wife 
    and I are moving to Acton from Swampscott.  We've been very happy
    with the Infant/Toddler Program at the JCC in Marblehead, and we'd
    really like a similar situation.
    
    Do any of the temples in the area have day care programs?  I'd 
    be interested in some feedback.
    
    If you're not aware of any Jewish day care situations, how about 
    any other recommendations?  Our son will be two years old in August,
    and we're expecting at the end of August.
    
    Any help, guidance, information will be greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bud

	I recommend that you cross-post in the PARENTING notes file, on node NOTED. There is a dedicated topic in the low number range. All replies must be by mail. Yeah, I wish there were more Jewish daycare around. With all the 2-parent working families, it would be much appreciated. Sigh,,, L
1252.2	Welcome to Acton	CARTUN::BERGART	Jeff-the-ref	`Mon Aug 03 1992 19:40`	13
	Welcome to the neighborhood. We've lived in Acton for 15 years. We found that the Serendipity Day Care Center was SUPER for our two kids. The staff is excellent and tends to stay from year to year. If you, or your wife want more info on the area (or about Temple Beth Elohim in Acton), feel free to give my wife, Marlene, or me a call. (263-4112) Jeff Bergart P.S. Our Temple doesn't have day care, but they do have a Sunday School Program for youngsters (i.e. pre-hebrew school). There are TONS of kids in the Hebrew School at Beth Elohim!

	Bud, I concur with the previous recommendation regarding Serendipity in Acton. We also sent two children there with great results. The Temple in Concord (Kerem Shalom) also offers a Sunday program for younger children. It is another option for Actonites. Both Temples are good, but have decidedly different philosphical foundations: Beth Elohim tends to the Conservative, Kerem Shalom looks more like a Reconstructionist Temple, although both are unaffiliated I believe. I make the same offer as Jeff in -.1 Give me a call at home 263-2236 for more information. Larry I.
1252.4	Jewish Daycare in Acton DOES exist!	ICS::WAKY	Onward, thru the Fog...	`Fri Dec 18 1992 23:07`	14
	Just catching up on some back notes... I have my 19 month old in family daycare with a Jewish family and find it's absolutely wonderful (in Acton). I believe it is full up right now, but my daycare provider may know of others in the business. Send me mail if you'd like me to connect you with her. It DOES make a difference to me, even though my daughter is so young - it's so nice to go pick her up and see them all sitting around reading stories about the Maccabees or spinning dreidels, rather than the visual of her being with Christmas traditions all day long.
