Our impact is fueled by early learning champions who believe in the power of childhood.
Celebrating our GROWing community!
In Fall 2024, the VOCEL community came together at our Annual Benefit Dinner: GROW, where we celebrated our growing aspirations to change the conversation about play and joy and excellence in early childhood education in our city.
Our story so far has been one of co-creation, creativity, and community — and we’re grateful to the families, school communities, and partners who’ve helped shape this journey. Watch our latest video to take an inside look at The Chicago Academy — which has participated in all of VOCEL’s family and educator programs — and how our partnership has helped shape their vision for early learning excellence.
