Our campaign, Say Yes to Child Care, has a united goal to facilitate and help families applying for the Illinois Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) and to find high quality child care in an area nearest to them in North Cook County. We are Grateful to INCCRRA for providing us with a grant for this campaign.
90% brain development occurs from birth to 5.
Every child deserves to be placed in a high-quality care program.
High-quality care can help your child reach his/her full potential of learning.
High-quality care can help and facilitate your child’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional and language development.
High quality child care can promote high quality early learning experiences resulting in school and life success.
High quality child care provides a healthy, consistent, responsive and caring environment for your child to promote his/her learning and development.
For lifetime success, every child needs a village of caregivers, schools and communities to work together to ensure a healthy growth and development of the child in their care.
“More than anyone, teachers know how important their work is in preparing children to be successful in school and in life beyond their classroom.” –
Sarah C. Wymer, Amanda P. Willford, Ann S. Lhospital (NAEYC)
Positive guidance for young children results in higher self-esteem, positive peer relationships, and emotional well-being.”
