Baby & Me at the J provides a space and opportunity to foster community and gathering for caretakers and children from birth to 3 years old. Help bring Judaism, gross motor skills development, imagination, literacy, and musicality into your child’s life at a young age.

Inclusivity- A warm and welcoming group for all people, family structures, races, religions, socio-economic status, and ability levels.
Respect- Respecting each other and treating others kindly. People are encouraged to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.
Participation- Enthusiastically participating in programming in line with abilities. Parents and caregivers will do their best to be present and follow directions from the instructor.
Support- Kindness and support to all children and caregivers in the community in a space that allows for offering and asking for help when it is needed.
Unless noted otherwise, all classes cost $18/session, and are free for JLA members. To learn more about membership at the J, click here.

Baby & Me will resume in September 2024.
A parent or caregiver must accompany the child during classes.
Registering ahead of time is a good idea to ensure you get a spot and that the class is prepared with enough supplies. Drop-ins are accommodated based on capacity. Staff in the front office can help you register on-site when you arrive.
Children are expected to behave age appropriately, which includes crying, moving, playing, and eating snacks.
Please contact the front office at 323-938-2531 to reschedule your class.
Donating to J Los Angeles allows us to enrich lives, build community, and inspire Jewish journeys.
