Jewish Early Childhood Initiative

The Jewish Early Childhood Initiative of Chattanooga provides a gift subsidy (non-financial based) to eligible children to attend Aleph Bet Children's Center in an effort to offset the cost of early Jewish Childhood Education. The gift voucher is possible through contributions from The Lebovitz Family Charitable Trust and individual donors.

Families may apply at any time after your child is accepted and enrolls at Aleph Bet Children's Center. Vouchers will be awarded if funding is available. Voucher amounts will be prorated based on the date the application is received and approved. Maximum lifetime family benefit is $5,000.

Jewish Early Childhood Initiative Families eligible for the voucher must:

  • Have a child who is accepted and enrolls at Aleph Bet Children's Center.
  • Have at least one parent/guardian who identifies as Jewish.
  • Note: A parent/guardian who is in the conversion process will be eligible upon completion.
