A Focus on Jewish Families: Results from the CASJE ECE Online Parent Survey

 The third research goal of this project was to explore the effect of Jewish Early Childhood Education on young families’ Jewish engagement. Building on earlier work in the project in which the research team conducted a literature review, content analysis of extant survey items of Jewish engagement, key informant interviews, and case studies of Jewish ECEs across three communities of interest (Chicago, IL, Washington, D.C., and Seattle, WA), the research team developed an online survey for parents with young Jewish children (oldest child birth to five years old) to examine parents’ ECE choice and experiences, as well as their families’ Jewish engagement.

This report shares findings from the parent survey.
