Better Together was developed to increase educational opportunities available for families with children ages 0-3 years old living in North Chicago, Great Lakes, and Fox Lake. The program builds a community where parents learn to be their child’s first and most important teacher, and it provides a safe place where children can develop the readiness, cognitive, and physical skills crucial to their education. Themes encourage interactions, self-exploration, and guided learning.

This initiative started in the fall of 2016 and has been made possible through the joint support and effort of the Green Bay Early Childhood Center, the Fox Lake School District, Women United, and United Way of Lake County’s Success By 6 Program.
