  • How do I know which program is right for my family?
    The Children's Center of Cicero-Berwyn primarily serves low income families by combining child and family services offered through state and federal departments of government. We determine eligibility, and apply a sliding co-payment based on family income and size. This allows low income families to access overlapping services that may include Head Start, Pre-Kindergarten, Day Care, After School Care, Parent and Child Programs, and special programs for specific groups in need of child care services. Our registration process allows us to match funding and programs, and to wrap compatible programs together, to offer the widest possible range of services in every case.
