One Hope United’s Early Learning and Child Development Line of Service is dedicated to educating, nourishing, and empowering young children and families at our 12 Child Development Centers throughout the Chicago area and its suburbs. Our centers serve more than 2,100 children and meet all goals for social/emotional, cognitive, language and physical development. Currently, 10 out of 11 of our eligible centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)–putting them in the top 10% of early childhood education programs nationally.
At One Hope United, our teachers work tirelessly to ensure that they are providing the best quality education for our students. Unfortunately, due to the current Illinois budget crisis, funds for teacher development are especially scarce. With your help, we are hoping to raise $15,000 to go toward Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment System Training for 50 of our very special and deserving teachers.
Your generous donation will not only allow our teachers to return to the classrooms better qualified, but they will be bringing back even stronger assessment skills to our classrooms, allowing them to properly evaluate our students as unique individuals.

This week, OHU’s Healthy Families Illinois, Wings and Doula programs celebrated the successes of their participants with a fun outdoor picnic in Waukegan, IL! Rather than celebrating Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or graduations separately, the programs combined all of these into one big “Success Party” to celebrate all of the families together.
