Jessie Block, Interim Director
I have been working at JEH since 2009 when I started as a Child Development Specialist. I moved into a leadership role in 2015. Although I do not live in Evanston, I have grown to think of this amazing community as part of my identity. I currently live in Highland Park with my husband and my 1-year old daughter. Raising a young child has reinvigorated my passion for Early Childhood Education, and watching her discover the world is a constant reminder of how magical these early learning years can be.
My educational background includes a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and Special Education from the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign and a M.A. in Educational Leadership from National Louis University.
