The Carole Robertson Center for Learning is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating, enriching, and empowering children and families through comprehensive child, youth development, and family engagement programs. Our vision is to help build a just and equitable society, in partnership with families, and be a beacon of best practices, innovation, and impact in early childhood and youth development.

The Center serves 2,500 children and families daily through anchor program locations in Albany Park, Little Village, and North Lawndale, with partner and satellite programs that reach 27 communities across Chicago. Programs serve children at every stage of development, from prenatal to age 17. Current programs include center- and home-based early childhood development programs for children ages 6 weeks through age 5; Out-of-School-Time (OST) and summer camp programming for children up to age 17; and extensive family support, mental health, professional development training, and social services.

The Center strives for excellence in providing the highest-quality programs and services to the children, families, and communities it serves. It is a recognized leader in early childhood education and is accredited through national and state entities. The organization was founded for the community and by the community, with social justice and equity at the forefront. This commitment remains in all we do.

“I have gained many different relationships in my work and have gained new mentors along the way to help me grow as a person and professional. I feel very fortunate to work for an agency whose mission is to educate, enrich, and empower both children and families, and to be able to provide quality care for our families.”
