Overview
Today’s Center welcomes all members of the community regardless of race or ethnic origin. We market ourselves as multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-generational.
Early Childhood and Education
We offer a two-way bilingual, year round day care for children ages 2 through 5. We utilize the Creative Learning Curriculum and direct our instructional lesson plan toward kindergarten readiness skills through the Preschool for All program.
Social Services
Through the Immigrant Family Resource Program, IL Welcoming Center, and Family Advocacy Center, we serve as a one-stop shop for individuals and families who are afraid or unaware of where to go for help. We provide resource and referral, linguistic and culturally competent case management, weekly food pantry, and vouchers for household goods and clothing assistance when resources permit.
Citizenship and Immigration
Our center’s Citizenship and Immigration Services serve all nationalities and countries of origin. We are a U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services’ Community Based Organization and are registered with the Illinois Attorney General for immigration services. All Immigration services are only provided to eligible individuals.
Adult Education
This includes English as a Second Language classes, citizenship workshops, computer literacy, parenting classes, among others in partnership with local organizations.
