2026 Right Start Early Childhood Education Vouchers
Ends on
Jewish Nevada's Right Start Program Application
Jewish Nevada's Right Start vouchers are available for families who start eligible early childhood programs on or after January 1, 2026. Families may apply for the Jewish Nevada Right Start voucher when they apply to a participating school. The vouchers are first-come, first served, based on eligibility. For those who qualify, Right Start will provide funding to help you ensure your child has the Right Start in developing a life rooted in Jewish values and traditions.
In addition, Jewish Nevada is proud to offer a $250 sibling voucher for siblings attending a Jewish participating preschool for the first time. This is for children with an older sibling or a child who is already enrolled or has or previously enrolled in Jewish early childhood education.
Please note that if your child starts preschool before January 15, 2027, now is the time to apply for your voucher. Annual applications open in January and close on December 14 of each year. Vouchers are first-come, first served, based on eligibility. We will keep a waiting list if we run out of vouchers and clear the list as funding becomes available.
