Heller JCC), Dorrie Levin (Jacob Duman Early Childhood Center), Nechama Perkins (Bernard Horwich JCC), Jennifer Ricciotti (Bernard Weinger JCC), Ellen Salk (JCC Chicago Early Childhood at Am Shalom), Elizabeth (Lisa) Shutan (Bernard Weinger JCC), and Elizabeth Zetley ('Z' Frank Apachi). JCC Chicago's commitment to "Growing Good Kids" begins in the early stages of a child's development where teachers nurture and inspire the littlest of learners, playing a huge role in who today's young people will become. The J's passion and privilege is to provide children, ages six weeks to five years old, with endless learning opportunities, love, and support while nurturing their skill development. JCC Chicago is the largest provider of Jewish early childhood in the country, serving nearly 700 young children across seven sites throughout the Chicago area in East Lakeview, Evanston, West Rogers Park, Northbrook, Glencoe, and Lake Zurich near Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, and Vernon Hills. -
