Parents and Families
As families and individuals grow and transition to new stages of life, the Greater Palm Beaches Jewish community and our shared values can serve as an invaluable source of comfort, inspiration and connection. From new to the neighborhood to new parents to parents of teenagers and everything in between, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County offers services and programs designed to ease these transitions.
We invite parents and families to find support and guidance through the Federation and experience a wide range of services and activities available to inform, enlighten and inspire. Some of those programs include: preschool and after-school school programs, Jewish camps, community-wide holiday celebrations, classes on traditions/family life and current events, and outreach projects.
Learn about ongoing educational, camps, long-term care and school consulting and professional development resources and services for those with special needs.

It is just this philosophy that led the Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy to embark on its iPad initiative this year. At the start of the 2011-2012 school year, iPads were provided to Meyer Academy middle school students as well as kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms.
