Community Based Programs 

For families who do not want to send their children to a CPS school, or who need more support than a CPS half day program community based programs are a good resource. 

What are community based programs? 

Community based programs are daycare/pre-k programs run through community sites, like the YMCA and other non-profit organizations or agencies. These include head start and early head start sites as well as other programs for children 0-5 and families.
