Gesher is the Hebrew word for bridge. Our Gesher program serves as a bridge between school and home and between the individual and the community. Gesher provides informal educational opportunities in a structured framework and a safe environment.
We provide an amazing range of activities every day that engage children. We challenge kids at their own level and according to their interests. We emphasize important social skills like sharing and cooperation.

DOWNLOAD the Gesher Brochure for more information and pricing.

DOWNLOAD the Gesher Registration Form.

Fun, challenging, enriching activities - crafts, games, and more

Great facilities - gymnasium, indoor playgym, playgrounds, tennis courts, outdoor playing fields, and a swimming pool

Take the bus from school - Brighton and Rush-Henrietta School Districts bus to the JCC.

Judaism is alive here - Jewish holiday activities and Oneg Shabbat each Friday in a culturally diverse setting.



Well-trained, experienced, loving staff
Kids Belong Here. Everything we do in Gesher is aimed at making children feel comfortable and accepted. They have their own interests, their own talents, and their own concerns, and so we give them a say in what we do and how we do it.

Families Come First. It can be tough to balance family, work and what often seems like a million commitments. We're here to help. Before and after school care, vacation programs, and enrichment and recreation programs make life a little simpler and a lot more enjoyable.

Keep Connected. Gesher programs get kids involved - thinking, playing, learning, exploring and creating. Programs and activities fill school's-out hours with valuable, enriching, fun experiences.
Gesher Programs
After School Care (ASC) - open until 6 pm Mon.-Fri.
Come off the bus to fun and creativity. Homework plus craft projects, swimming, games, sports, and more! Most Enrichment, Recreation or Swim classes are included in your tuition.

Kindercrew - Morning and afternoon wrap-around care for kindergarteners. Big adventures await you.

Before School Care (BSC) - 7am until bus pick-up. Brighton and Rush-Henrietta School Districts will pick up your child from the JCC's front door.
