Secure State DCFS Licensed Child Care Centers
Research has
demonstrated that children learn most quickly in the first six years
of life. At the Abraham Lincoln Centre, we believe that it is our
responsibility to help children receive the quality developmental and
educational services needed to be successful in school, at home and in
the community. As an agency, one of our most important services is
preparing children for school and instilling a love and desire for
life-long learning.
Abraham Lincoln
Centre’s Head Start programs are accredited by the National
