JUF Right Start was created to increase awareness and access to Jewish early childhood programs for Chicago-area families. Gift Vouchers from $500 to $2,000 are provided to families sending their children to a Jewish early childhood program for the first time.
This program is funded and administered by the Jewish United Fund.
Full-day ’25/’26 Early Childhood students who are age-eligible for camp and choose to spend their summers with Apachi will receive FREE day camp for summer 2025; (must be year-round 2025/26 students who attend 5 days a week). Full-day students who attend 3 days a week and half-day students are eligible for 20% off the camp fee on their final payment. The new Camp Scholarship is intended to bring the joys of Apachi to our littlest learners while providing significant financial relief for families against the costs of full day Early Childhood.
We appreciate you recommending JCC Chicago Early Childhood programs to your friends. For every child of a family new to our JCC Chicago Early Childhood program you refer that registers for a long term program, both you and your friend will receive a $150 credit on your accounts in December of the school year. Ask your director for details about this incentive!
