Keeping your kids active, happy, and learning after school? That’s the dream.
Back to school is one thing — but back to everything else? That’s a whole separate challenge. If you’re already wondering how to keep your kids engaged, moving, and off screens this fall (without spending hours coordinating schedules), the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades has you covered.
Their Fall Youth Programs are now open for registration, and they’re packed with energy- burning, skill-building, creativity-sparking activities — all under one very welcoming roof in Tenafly.
So, what’s on the schedule? Everything. From swim lessons and sports leagues to dance, STEM, music, visual arts, and theater, there’s truly something for every interest, energy level, and personality. Programs are offered for children starting at preschool age all the way through high school, with each activity led by expert instructors in a safe, community-rooted environment.

If your kid’s been begging to try basketball — they’ve got it. Still obsessed with ballet? It’s there. Looking to build skills (and confidence) in coding, piano, or stage performance? Done, done, and done.
Bonus: You can build out your child’s after-school or weekend schedule right on campus — no driving around to five different studios required.
Here’s What Parents Love Most:
● Everything in one place (seriously, we can’t say this enough)
● Convenient class times that work with real family schedules
● Inclusive programs that support all ages and abilities
● High-quality instruction that makes kids want to come back week after week
● And of course, the community feel that makes the JCC so beloved
Not to mention, many programs are open to non-members, so even if you haven’t joined yet, you can still get in on the action.
Whether your child is a future Broadway star, a mini scientist, or just really needs to burn off after-school energy, you’ll find the right fit at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades this fall.
