Enrolling at the Mary Crane Center

Children ages 6 weeks through 5 years can be enrolled at the Mary Crane Center. All abilities are welcome. Our students represent over ten languages in our accredited learning programs. To enroll your child, call us at 773.242.2860, email, or call the specific Learning Center site.

What documents are required to enroll my child?
  • Your child’s birth certificate
  • Proof of income (two most recent check stubs)
  • Results from your child’s last physical and dental check-ups
  • Your child’s immunization record
What is the cost of tuition?

We use a sliding fee scale based on the family’s income and the number in the household to calculate monthly tuition. Parents pay a “low” co-payment; the remainder of tuition is covered by government subsidies.

Your child may qualify for Free Child Care and our Early Education Programs.*
Please schedule an appointment as soon as possible to find out if you meet the requirements for any of our free programs. We will work with you to create the best learning environment for your child.
