JCC Indianapolis — Local services in Indianapolis

My family and I have been members of the JCC for 5 years now. We primarily started going for their childcare/daycare and then Pre-School and Pre-K for our son. He’s gone on some level since he was 5-6 months old and has thrived very well in their environment. Additionally, we gradually started going to the facility more often the longer we were members where now we go to the outside pool and park multiple times a week in the summer and although less in the winter, utilize the facility year around. The childcare is as good as it gets on pretty much every level you can grade or measure childcare and/or educational establishment for ages 0-5.

Absolutely no employees confronted them or enforced the facility rules (yes, I did confirm that the majority were under 16). I was most definitely NOT the only one bothered and upset by the whole situation and was not happy to hear from another adult member that this happens quite often, especially on...

We were members of the JCC several years ago and both went early several mornings a week. Our fitness, health and attitudes improved. Then both our jobs required more travel and we let our membership and my fitness lapse. Now we qualify for Silver Sneakers and once again have the whole great facility and its trainers available. Our fitness is much improved. We do two group classes a week with Trainer Jim Gould. He keeps it light-hearted, changes it up, allows people to work to their abilities and has wonderful and varied music selections. (Register early, his classes...
