PARK FOREST, IL, UNITED STATES, June 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As families continue balancing work schedules, long hours, and the demands of everyday life, First Years University of Illinois is expanding its support for local parents through a new “Summer Support for Working Families” initiative focused on dependable childcare, structured learning, and safe early childhood education.

Located in Park Forest, Illinois, First Years University provides childcare and preschool programs for infants, toddlers, two-year-olds, and preschool-age children. The center’s goal is to give working parents peace of mind while helping children grow in a nurturing, engaging environment built around safety, consistency, and early learning.

“We know many parents are balancing careers, long hours, and everyday life,” said the leadership team at First Years University of Illinois. “Our goal is to create a dependable environment where families feel supported and children feel loved, safe, and prepared for success.”

The initiative comes as many parents begin planning summer childcare arrangements and preparing for fall enrollment. First Years University is currently welcoming families interested in infant daycare, toddler care, preschool programs, and kindergarten readiness support.

Programs are designed to support children at every developmental stage through structured routines, social interaction, hands-on learning, creative activities, and age-appropriate educational experiences. The center focuses on helping children build confidence, communication skills, independence, and positive peer relationships during the most important early years of development.

In addition to expanding enrollment opportunities, First Years University is also offering limited-time family incentives that may include:
-- Free registration week
-- $100 off registration
-- Referral credits for current families
-- Waived activity fees for qualifying enrollments

The center’s leadership says the goal is simple: provide families with reliable childcare they can trust while creating an environment where children feel comfortable learning, exploring, and growing every day.

First Years University believes childcare should feel like an extension of a family’s support system — especially for working parents navigating busy schedules and changing family needs.

Programs currently available include:
Infant daycare
Toddler daycare
Two-year-old care
Preschool programs
Kindergarten readiness support
Families interested in summer care or fall enrollment opportunities are encouraged to contact the center directly to schedule a tour and learn more about current availability.
