Join us at the Boulder JCC for a diverse array of programs for families focusing on Early Learning and Parenting Education. Each season offers enriching opportunities for parents and caregivers to enjoy time together while their children develop social and emotional skills. Classes include exploring the Milk and Honey Farm, learning beginner sign language, music, crafting, and much more! Parent Education programs cover topics to help navigate milestones such as potty training and preparing children for a new sibling. Our educational opportunities encourage parents and caregivers to learn, grow, and foster community.

Chamisa Logemann has been teaching signing for infants and toddlers at the JCC for over 10 years. She began her sign language career by taking a class with her own daughter when she was 13 months old. She is now a teenager! Sign language became such a powerful tool for communicating and understanding her needs that she was inspired to become an instructor herself. Before becoming an instructor at the JCC, she taught elementary school in Broomfield and California, and preschool in Aurora. She has always had a passion for teaching children and helping them learn. She has 3 children,  a girl and 2 boys.
