"Everyone at the CDC has done an amazing job creating an environment that is safe and fun for our children while maintaining a high level of pre-elementary education. For our family, the CDC is our first and only choice for early childhood education."

"The CDC has truly shaped who our children are today and I can’t thank you and the staff enough! My older boys are THRIVING in middle and elementary school and I owe a lot of it to the CDC! They entered kindergarten knowing how to be kind, respectful, friendly humans and it has stuck with them! I just want to say thank you... from the bottom of my heart!"

"Our girls absolutely loved their many years at the CDC. It was a joy to see them learn and grow, and to watch them truly flourish while being there. Margot tells me all the time how much she misses it! (Since moving on to kindergarten.) We are so grateful to still have little Poppy who is making her way through the CDC and is having the most wonderful 1st year as a Sea Turtle. This place is truly a home away from home!"

"From the moment our kids stepped foot at the CDC, they’ve been, 'at home.' Our boys formed impactful relationships with their teachers, while building lasting friendships. We love referring other young families here so they can share in that same experience we’ve been so fortunate to have."

As of today, members can once again enjoy all that Waterama has to offer, including our froggy slide, lily pad cross, two large slides, and zero-depth entry pool. Waterama now joins our Splashpad and 50-Meter Pool, which have already been welcoming families throughout the start of the summer.
We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting Waterama's opening, and we want to sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we worked through unexpected challenges earlier this season. We also know that Waterama is a popular summer tradition for many of our families, and we understand the disappointment that came with having to wait a little longer than expected. While the delay was not what any of us hoped for, we remained committed to ensuring the facility was ready to safely welcome our community back.
As we look ahead, we are thrilled to spend the rest of the summer with you and your family, enjoying everything our outdoor aquatic facilities have to offer.
We also want to share that, as part of the J's upcoming campus expansion project, we are committed to addressing the ongoing challenges facing Waterama and exploring long-term improvements that will enhance and strengthen this unique amenity for future generations of members. This work reflects our broader commitment to investing in the experiences our community already loves, while also preparing for the future. As part of that vision, we are excited to break ground this September on a new indoor recreational aquatic center, creating even more opportunities for members to gather, play, learn, and stay active year-round.
Thank you again for your continued support and for being part of our J community. We look forward to seeing you poolside this summer.
