We’re celebrating Governor Pritzker’s signing of Senate Bill 1 (SB1), creating a unified Department of Early Childhood in Illinois, and here’s three reasons why you should, too: 🌟SB1 improves access to high-quality, affordable early childhood education across Illinois by consolidating early learning programs into a unified agency. 🌟 No longer stuck behind layers of red tape, families and childcare professionals can focus on finding a high-quality, affordable program that works for them. 🌟 Improving access to early childhood services creates ripple effects Illinoisans will benefit from for generations to come.

About us
The Carole Robertson Center for Learning is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating, enriching, and empowering children and families through comprehensive child and family development programs, including early childhood education (ages 0-5), out-of-school-time programs (ages 5-17); and comprehensive, customized family support programs. The Center serves nearly 2000 children and families in 27 communities throughout Chicago, from diverse settings including three flagship sites in Little Village, North Lawndale, and Albany Park; in partner schools and community-based centers; home-based providers; and home visiting for expectant parents and their young children. Programs serve children at every stage of development, from before birth through age 17. All programs are bilingual in English and Spanish. Children with special needs are welcome in all programs. The Carole Robertson Center for Learning is named in memory of Carole Robertson, one of four girls – along with Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, and Denise McNair – killed in the 1963 racially motivated bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, during the Civil Rights Movement.

Happy #InternationalYouthDay! What better way to celebrate today then by reflecting on our fun-filled OST Carnival of Caring—where students got the chance to enjoy everything *under the sun* from mini golf to face painting!

What goes into building brains? 🧠 Lots and lots of play, guided by nimble-minded teachers and rooted in data-driven curriculum. Today at our North Lawndale flagship site, Executive Fellows from Erikson Institute shadowed our early childhood educators, learning the ins and outs of child development through sing-a-long sessions, lessons on body parts, building block activities, and more. Much thanks to Erikson Institute for spending your Day of Service with us!
