Over three decades ago, NCJW Dallas was one of four NCJW sections nationally that brought the HIPPY preschool preparedness program to the U.S. from Israel. The program was so successful that HIPPY is now an international, independent organization bringing their three-year teaching program to preschoolers and their families around the world.

NCJW Dallas now supports the HIPPY programs in Dallas ISD, Richardson ISD and Irving ISD.  We offer three kinds of support:

• Field trips for preschoolers and their families to the Arboretum, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science;
• By holding graduation ceremonies and school readiness support for 5-year-old HIPPY graduates and;
• By presenting annual scholarships to college-bound HIPPY graduates.
