Birth to Five Illinois is on a mission to shift the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) landscape across Illinois by centering the experiences of families. Where there are families, there are stories: stories of bureaucracy and systemic shortcomings, and stories of families and children thriving in the face of compassionate providers and exemplary services. We are here for it all!

Now at Boyd Memorial Hospital – Brighter Connections, a Melillo Method program! At Brighter Connections, we help children with neurodevelopmental challenges overcome their obstacles by improving brain symmetry and increasing functional connectivity between both hemispheres in a non-medical way. As this occurs, children and their families will notice many improvements including better timing, coordination, increased muscle tone, better emotional regulation, and improved cognition to name a few. When one child in the family struggles, the whole family struggles to help them. We are here to give families hope and solutions. At Brighter Connections we believe in brighter brains, brighter families, and brighter futures. Life is hard, let us show you there are brighter days ahead.
