Ounce of Prevention Fund-Educare Center

Educare of Chicago is a state-of-the-art school that serves approximately 150 at-risk infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in Chicago’s Grand Boulevard neighborhood.

Launched by the Ounce of Prevention Fund in 2000, Educare works to narrow the achievement gap between at-risk children and their more advantaged peers by giving students the skills they need to succeed in school.

The Educare model the Ounce developed at this Chicago school has inspired the creation of other Educare schools in the Bounce Learning Network.

In 2009, the Ounce partnered with the University of Chicago Urban Education Institute to develop a birth-to-college pipeline for the children at Educare.
