Gift Voucher Eligibility Guidelines

The child needs to be accepted by the school in a 2, 3, or 4 year old program at the beginning of the school year;

The family identifies as Jewish;

The child enrolls in a Jewish early childhood program that is affiliated with the Jewish Community Centers of Chicago, Associated Talmud Torahs, Community Foundation for Jewish Education or the Board of Jewish Education;

The child enrolls in a Jewish early childhood program that meets 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week (the child may be attending half day, full day, or extended day);

The child enrolls in a Jewish early childhood program for the first time (children who have attended an early childhood program previously with Jewish content, without a parent or caregiver, do not qualify for this program); and

The child is the first child in the family to attend a Jewish pre-school. Since the goal of the program is to encourage new families to choose a Jewish early childhood program, if a sibling has already attended a Jewish preschool, the child is not eligible.
