Enrollment opens for 2020-2021 school year

Now enrolling: Child Parent Academy

VOCEL’s flagship program, the Child Parent Academy is growing and welcoming new families. With nearly 20 cohorts across Chicago, we’re excited to work with more than 200 families to support their little ones’ learning. The Child Parent Academy brings early learning resources and support to parents, caregivers and any other grown-up who helps young children learn and grow.

Spots are limited and going fast! Child Parent Academy classes are hosted in partnership with Chicago elementary schools, but all are welcome. Check out VOCEL Near You to find a cohort that’s convenient for your family. When programs resume in-person, weekly classes will take place at the address listed. For now, all programs are virtual to keep you and your little ones safe.

Don’t have a baby, toddler or little one at home? Please spread the word to other families in and near Chicago. We know a better foundation leads to a brighter future, and the Child Parent Academy is designed to partner with parents and caregivers to provide that foundation. We’re in it together!
