Start Early Lake County provides two center-based birth-to-5 program options located in the Beach Park and Waukegan areas while Educare Lake County is being built. https://www.startearly.org/start-early-lake-county-early-learning-center/

Educare Lake County will be a state-of-the-art early learning school for children ages 6 weeks to 5-years-old. This groundbreaking school will support both children and their families, propelling the future of our community’s children towards success both inside and outside the classroom. Educare Lake County is set to be built in Zion, Illinois between Shiloh Park and Zion Central Middle Schools. We are thrilled to be partnering with the City of Zion, the Zion 6 School District and other local early childhood education partners.

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ We had a SUPER time at the Lake County Labor Day Parade! 🎉

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us and helped bring our superhero spirit to the parade! 💜 From our amazing staff and families to all of the little superheroes who waved, smiled and cheered along the route—you helped make the day so special.
