All seven of our Early Childhood Centers will remain open as an essential service for children and families.

Additional programming adjustments include:

• JHawks Basketball has been paused until further notice.

As we head back into our homes during the shelter at home advisory, please know that additional programming is available on Channel J, including film screenings, book discussions, intergenerational programming and much more. You may also be interested in celebrating Hanukkah with the J during our 8 Nights of Hanukkah program; learn more and register here.

Our priority is the health and wellbeing of our community during this time. While JCC Chicago continues to provide in-person programing and online offerings, we ask for your cooperation and request that you please consider following the Stay at Home advisory guidelines:
