About the NSJCC

The North Suburban Jewish Community Center of Peabody (NSJCC) is dedicated to developing and implementing programs for the recreational, educational, cultural, physical and social needs of infants to seniors for the Jewish and general community.  The NSJCC is guided by the principles of Judaism and democracy which create an atmosphere essential to Jewish thoughts, beliefs and values.

For over 25 years, the NSJCC has provided thousands of children with warm and nurturing care that gives them an early sense of self-esteem and accomplishment.  We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum, based on the knowledge of how children grow and what they can do socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. 

We provide an atmosphere where children practice kindness and respect for one another.  We believe that children learn by being actively involved and design our programs to individually meet the needs of every child.

An integral part of our curriculum weaves the education of Jewish heritage and culture into the child's day.  Each week ends in a traditional Shabbat gathering, where the children celebrate the Sabbath in a warm and meaningful way. Candles are lit, blessings are recited, juice and challah are shared and the children join in singing Shabbat songs. Our Shabbat gathering, as well as, our songs, customs, and traditions, familiarize children with Jewish heritage and enrich our daily educational experience.
