Since 1898, Gads Hill has offered a place where families can be safe and unified, children can grow healthy and strong, and parents can build for the future.? Soon after opening its doors, Gads Hill offered kindergarten, singing groups, cooking classes, a savings bank with 350 depositors, sewing clubs, and activities for school-age boys and girls.

Today, Gads Hill is a family resource center with the mission of partnering with the community to develop the assets of children, youth, adults and families.? Serving Chicago?s primarily low income neighborhoods in the southwest side of Chicago, including Pilsen, Little Village, McKinley Park, Brighton Park and North Lawndale, and others, Gads Hill continues to help families create a better life for their children.

Gads Hill provides high quality early childhood education to up to 400 children, from infancy through five year olds with a variety of center and home-based programs that prepare children to enter kindergarten ready to read and learn.

Our after-school services provide safe care for more than 250 students, including homework help, creativity and play for elementary school students, positive role models to middle school students, mentoring and advocacy for at-risk high school students along with college preparation and support. We assist families in identifying resources in the communities we serve. And finally, Gads Hill is open to the community for aerobics, basketball, General Mill?s healthy cooking classes, university courses, neighborhood meetings and events.
