The mission of Sinai’s Preschool is to provide high quality early childhood education to our Sinai community and to the wider Chicago area by incorporating reform Jewish values and traditions within a broader, relationship-based curriculum.

Preschool
Ages 2-5 yrs

Our preschool classes are designed for children ages two through five-years old. Small class sizes ensure a low teacher-child ratio, allowing for individual attention and a nurturing environment. Families enrolled in preschool classes for the full school year are provided a full membership to Chicago Sinai Congregation. Financial assistance is available for families who qualify. 

Two-Year-Old Class
For children who are two years old or turning two by September 1st. 
Meets 2,3,4, or 5 days a week (Monday – Friday)
9:00am – 11:30am
This class provides a gentle introduction to preschool in a warm, supportive setting designed specifically for two- to three-year-olds. Families may choose a schedule of two to five mornings per week. 

Three- and Four-Year-Old Class
For children turning three or four by September 1st.
Meets Monday – Friday
9:00am – 11:45am 

Our mixed-age classroom fosters collaboration, independence, and social growth while supporting each child’s developmental stage. 

Early Care is available to provide flexible scheduling and support your family’s need. 

Enrichment Classes are available to children in both programs, providing extended learning experiences and additional opportunities for creativity and exploration.
