To show our appreciation for your family’s continued dedication to formal Jewish education, we are excited to announce a new Gift of Kindergarten Incentive Program for ALL current Gross Schechter Day School Early Childhood families, beginning with re-enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year.
For every year your child(ren) is/are enrolled in the Early Childhood Center at Gross Schechter — from the 18 months old through the Pre-K — families earn a $500 credit to be automatically applied toward that child’s Gross Schechter Kindergarten tuition. Current ECC families will receive credits ($500/academic year) dating back to their child’s earliest ECC enrollment (minimum age of 18 months).
As parents, you have already made the important choice of where to begin your child’s education. The Gift of Kindergarten Incentive Program helps support the next steps in your child’s educational journey by automatically enrolling each eligible ECC family and calculating the total credits (up to $2,000) for each rising Kindergarten transitioning from our Pre-K program.
A new incentive program that shows our appreciation for your dedication to a continued Jewish education. Beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year, ECC families (18 months through Pre-K) begin accruing $500 annually towards your child’s Gross Schechter kindergarten tuition.
Congratulations! You have already begun accruing funds!
Any current ECC student receives credit for each previous year of eligible enrollment, dating back to their time in the 18-month classroom. This means that a current Pre-K student who has been enrolled in Gross Schechter since 18-months of age will receive the full $2,000 credit towards Kindergarten tuition for the 2023-2024 school year.
Students who start with us in the 18 month program in 2023-24 could earn up to $2,000 (4 years of $500 credit for each student) in credit toward Gross Schechter tuition to be applied in the year the student enters kindergarten in Fall 2027!
All students who enroll in the ECC program for 2023-24 school year are eligible. The full $500 credit will be available to any student who enrolls in our ECC at any time during an academic year.
Yes! You earn the credit for each of your children.
Any ECC student who continues on to Kindergarten at Gross Schechter will automatically have any accrued amounts applied as a credit on their account for that academic year. There are no extra steps!
No. The credit can only be applied toward Gross Schechter Kindergarten tuition, and cannot be used towards fees or other charges.
No. The funds are an investment of Gross Schechter dollars into the future tuition of ECC students, and therefore only valid when applied to Gross Schechter Kindergarten tuition for the same student. Accrued funds are non-transferable between siblings and other family members. Questions? Contact Jennifer Kercher at jkercher@grossschechter.org.
No. You cannot combine the Employee Discount and/or Jewish Communal Professional Credit with this incentive. If you qualify for more than one discount program, you will get the benefit of the highest discount. This incentive CAN be combined with traditional financial aid, our Middle Income Incentive Initiative, and Ed Choice.
