The new RJCC Yorktown Branch is spacious and bright, and is located on the lower level of the Yorktown Jewish Center (YJC) synagogue, less than one mile east of the Taconic Parkway.

“The decision to relocate to the Yorktown Jewish Center made perfect sense,” said Jennifer Constantino, RJCC Yorktown Branch Director. “They had classroom space available, and if we need more rooms, we can expand. If we need a larger space for a concert or special event, we can work with them to make that happen, too. Both of us benefit from this arrangement.”

“We are so excited to begin a new preschool year in our new home,” said Judy Veglia, Director of Early Childhood, Yorktown. “We have such a bright and inviting space both indoors and out, and we invite anyone with young children to come and visit.”
