CHILDREN

Picture

​The first five years of a child's life are the most critical in their social, emotional and cognitive development. These early years shape a child's health, development and learning achievement. Gads Hill Center provides family-centered early childhood education programs for children ages birth to five. Children transition from Gads Hill Center prepared to succeed in school.

YOUTH

Picture

Youth programs keep elementary school and high school students safe, healthy, and engaged in learning during the critical out-of-school hours. Gads Hill Center's youth programs promote the personal, social and academic skills of the students. For example, 100% of students in our Building Leaders program (formerly Teen Connection) graduate from high school.​

FAMILY & COMMUNITY

Picture

​Parents and caregivers are their children's first teachers. They are partners in their children’s education. Their well-being is the foundation of the entire family. Family engagement and community services at Gads Hill Center connect working families and their children to resources that support their educational, job and health-related goals.

"The Gads Hill Center has served Pilsen’s immigrant community for over a century, and it’s hoping to do the same in Brighton Park with a new $7 million facility it opened in late October.
The organization’s 18,000-square-foot building at 4255 S. Archer Ave. will be the nonprofit’s new flagship building providing early education, after-school programs, mental health services and comprehensive family support."
