      <Desc>Educare was organized in 2008 and for the first three years focused on acquiring a site and raising capital. Educare began directly serving children and families in their current location in early July 2012. We are a state-of-the-art early childhood school that gives low-income young children and their families in West Chicago a strong start for a successful future. Our comprehensive program incorporates what science says young children need to flourish. The school is part of a national network of effective early learning schools. Educare's approach helps children, families and communities thrive. Educare unites education professionals, private-sector leaders, policymakers, families and other like-minded champions to improve access to high-quality early childhood education across the country.</Desc>
