  • Family identifies as Jewish
  • 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.
  • Enrolls in a Jewish early childhood program that meets 3, 4 or 5 days per week.  The child may be attending half day, full day, or extended day
  • 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.
  • The first child in a 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.
