Attention NEW Preschool Families!
It has been brought to our attention that SMART Tuition has not contacted any of you for how to enroll and set up your family profile online.
We have been notified that The Office of Early Childhood has NOT sent out the letters to parents or each school. Due to this, they told us to inform parents to NOT worry about enrolling with the tuition program until AFTER the start of school. Hopefully we will be given more information in the coming weeks to resolve any issues. We thank you for your continued patience and flexibility with these new procedures.
Below is a brochure for CPS parents using SMART Tuition for the first time. Please take a look to learn more about SMART Tuition.

This second link below is for you to sign up and register your family.

As a reminder, the new sliding scale tuition ONLY affects NEW preschool families. Any preschool child that was enrolled in the 2012-2013 school year is NOT affected.
If you have any further questions about the status of letters being sent out, please call Central Office downtown at (773) 553-2010.
Preschool in the City with Mrs. Gabelman 
Ms. Hopkins, do we all have to sign up for this? Even if we are “grandfathered in” from last year?
No you do not. It only pertains to the new families that are enrolling in our program that qualify for the tuition. All returning families do not have to do anything. You’re the lucky group! 🙂
