Dear Parents,
Ahavat Achim is happy to offer professional childcare for children ages 2-12 during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur once again!
Our childcare professionals are charged with engaging children through fun activities. While parents are not permitted to remain in the group rooms, a parent/guardian must be on the premises. There will be a space for parents of children under 2 to be with their babies during davening. This space will not have a youth leader present. Please include children under 2 in your responses so that we can adequately plan space for you.
The cost of High Holiday childcare is listed below. The shul will subsidize the program to keep it as affordable as possible. If costs are a challenge, please reach out to Jay Herman (jherman@ahavatachim.org) to make arrangements; the communication will be kept confidential. Prices below are inclusive of all days listed.
All children must be registered in order to participate in high holiday childcare. Childcare is available only to those who have purchased high holiday seats.
Pricing (per family):
Early bird (by Sunday, August 30th): $18
After September 4th: $30
No prior registration: $40
Use of the parent & me room is free for those who only have child(ren) under 2
Sponsorships to help cover costs are welcome.
Additional Details:
Childcare will run through the end of davening each day. Parents must pick up their children promptly at the conclusion of services.
Snacks will be provided twice each day on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (including for the infant/toddler area). On Yom Kippur nights, one snack will be served each night.
Lunch will be provided on Yom Kippur day (dairy/pareve and nut-free).
Please ensure that any snacks brought from home are nut-free.
Rosh Hashanah groups will begin at 8:45 AM.
Yom Kippur - Kol Nidre groups will begin at 6:45 PM.
Yom Kippur day groups will begin at 8:45 AM.
Yom Kippur - Mincha/Neilah/Maariv groups will begin at 6:05 PM.
We’re looking forward to a wonderful High Holiday season with your children.
Warmly,
The Youth Committee
