But thanks to the JCC Therapeutic Nursery, bumps in development (big or small) are handled with care and compassion at their Toddler Mommy & Me Socialization Group or Therapeutic Nursery Program and addressed using the best practices for helping kids within structured group activities with an emphasis on socialization and building communication and motor skills. Parents are also provided with guidance for entering pre-school years. (JCC Therapeutic Nursery Toddler Mommy & Me Socialization Group meets Tues/Thurs mornings, enrollment is ongoing, 201-408-1497)
