Moadon Kol Chadash

What these mean, and where they come from

Medium means the middle half of Chicago-area’s 1,949 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 49 to 118 children. Small is 8 to 48; large is 119 to 487.

How they teach

Play-based and faith-based

“our rich and inclusive, year-round pre-school program has incredible Israeli teachers who provide experiential, hands-on learning, allowing students to be partners in their own education in both the Hebrew language and Jewish culture”In their words, August 2026.moadonkolchadash.org

“Gan Gani, "my preschool," is a year-round Hebrew immersion preschool program in which children engage in constructive curriculum in a play based setting.”In their words, August 2026.moadonkolchadash.org

One of 70 Chicago-area providers that describe a play-based approach, out of 129 that describe any approach at all.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, ratios and staff, a typical day, sick and biting policies.

Fixed?
The latest correction deadline was July 25, 2026. Illinois DCFS does not publish whether it was made.
Most serious
Illinois DCFS does not publish a severity level for a citation, so there is no most-serious to name.

Illinois DCFS cites each subsection of a rule separately, so one audit of a filing cabinet can produce ten citations. It publishes the rule’s title and a correction deadline, but no description of what was observed.
