Resources

The Coles County Child Care Collaborative is developing this page as a central resource for families seeking child care information and support throughout the county. Visitors will be able to find information about local child care providers, early learning programs, financial assistance, and other family-focused resources. Our goal is to make it easier for parents and caregivers to understand what services are available and where to begin when searching for care. Provider listings will include basic information such as location, contact details, ages served, and available program information when provided. Additional resources will also be added to help families learn more about affordability programs, school-age care, and community services. This page will continue to grow as new information and partnerships become available.

​

We also plan to provide resources for child care providers and community partners working to strengthen early childhood services in Coles County. This may include information about professional development, licensing, workforce resources, quality improvement, funding opportunities, and local partnerships. By bringing these resources together in one place, the Collaborative hopes to improve access to useful information for both families and providers. We also want this page to serve as a connection point for organizations working to support children, families, and the child care workforce. Information will be updated as programs and opportunities become available. If you are looking for a resource that is not yet listed, we encourage you to contact the Collaborative for additional information.
