We would love to speak with you!
Taking a tour offers families a chance to meet our Directors, learn about our indoor and outdoor classrooms, and discuss our unique educational approach.
One of the many benefits of being part of our JCC Chicago Early Childhood family, is access to premier parenting classes that offer guidance, tools, intention and the chance to deepen friendships.
Programs
The JNew Moms Group offers a professionally facilitated supportive environment for first-time mothers to share their experiences, exchange ideas, and connect with others while exploring relevant topics such as sleep, infant development, self-care, work-life balance, and ways they might incorporate Jewish culture into their growing families.
The journey into parenthood is unique and transformative for all families, and we honor the diversity of this powerful human experience. As such, JCC Chicago’s JNew Moms Groups are open to gestational, non-gestational, foster and adoptive caregivers who feel connected to Judaism in some way, shape, or form. We welcome ALL parents, regardless of age, race, gender identity and expression, sexuality, ability, or family composition.
