We are a community-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit preschool. Our mission is to strengthen families by providing a high quality, affordable full-day early education for infants and toddlers.

Our highest priority is to help children from all socioeconomic backgrounds gain the skills they need to succeed in school, while fostering the shared community values of cooperation and respect for one another.

We accept the Child Care Assistance Program from Illinois Department of Human Services child care assistance subsidy.
