How many schools, classes and childcare programs are listed across the Chicago metro?
Three right now, in Chicago. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How do I check a childcare program's license?
Your state posts licensing and inspection reports online, and Childcare.gov links to each state's search. Read recent reports before you tour.
What should I ask before enrolling in a class or program?
Ask about schedules, class size, total cost and what accommodations are available, and whether you can sit in on a session first.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a school, class or childcare program that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a school, class or childcare program we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
