Jonna Benjamin

JCYS Northwest Family Center
Pre- K Teacher
Buffalo Grove
I have been teaching at JCYS for 6 years. I started as a parent of children who attended there and as my children left preschool, I started teaching!
I love getting to spend my days with these children, laughing and learning with them and watching them grow into amazing little people!
I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis and have lived in Chicago for 21 years. I have been married for 18 years and have a 14 year old boy and 11year old girl.
I am looking forward to this conference!
