JRC JRC is a non-profit organization, founded in 1974, with two centers serving children and seniors. We are also proud to offer two unique programs to JRC.

Our mission statement at JRC is to enrich lives through educating children, engaging seniors, and strengthening community. At JRC, we care about our earliest learners and also ensuring quality of life for seniors! Early education is the key to building the foundation for learning. JRC provides early education and quality care at our two Learning Center locations. On the other end of the spectrum, people are living longer and ensuring quality of life is intact is key. Our JRC Adult Day Center exists to provide purposeful and engaging activities for those who need assistance, also enabling their caretaker to work or receive respite. We offer intensive services such as showering and personal care, and can accept veterans utilizing VA benefits. Our goal is to help individuals stay in their own home for as long as possible. Our Healthy Habits program focuses on providing nutritious and healthy food to our children and seniors. JRC also offers the Intergenerational Connections Program, where we bring children and seniors together for purposeful and fun activities. It is an opportunity for seniors to interact with children, while children can learn from older adults. Call for a tour today or to learn more!

Thank you, Groundwork Ohio and the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, for bringing the Roadshow Listening Tour to JRC—and thank you to everyone who joined us for a thoughtful conversation about child care in our region.

We’re grateful to our panelists and guests for sharing their perspectives on what has changed, the challenges that remain, and how employers and community partners can be part of the solution. Access to affordable, quality child care matters to children, families, and the strength of our local workforce.

This week, we celebrated a very special milestone as the 14th Street Learning Center turned 25 years old!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to mark the occasion and help make the day so meaningful. We loved spending time with families, staff, supporters, and community partners who have been part of the center's journey.

We're grateful for 25 years of serving children and families and excited for all that's still to come.

Every week, our intergenerational program pairs kids with members of the JRC Adult Day Center for shared, hands-on activities, and this week, they cooked up something sweet.

Gina led the group in making apple crumble topped with whipped cream. It was delicious reminder of what happens when generations learn together.
