Brightpoint IL

Brightpoint was born three years ago from our proud longtime legacy of Children’s Home & Aid.

Our new name and identity reflected more than a visual change — it marked a renewed commitment to prevention, early support and meeting families where they are.

Today, that mission continues to guide our work as we help children and families access the care, resources and support they need to thrive. We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey with us. 💜

We recently joined advocates, partners and community leaders in Springfield for Early Childhood Advocacy Day.

Throughout the day our team engaged with state senators and representatives on the importance of investing in quality child care and family support services. We shared the critical needs facing families and highlighted the importance of policies that strengthen access to early childhood resources and support systems.

We’re proud to continue advocating for solutions that help children and families thrive across Illinois and grateful to the senators and representatives who took time to meet with us and discuss these important conversations: State Representative Amy Elik, State Senator Christopher Belt, State Rep. Nabeela Syed, State Representative Sonya Harper and Senator Erica Harriss.

We had a great time last week joining State Senator Lakesia Collins Mother's Day event, sharing information about our fatherhood programs! Our programs don't just support fathers, but their relationships with their partners, co-parents and children. This relationship building is what keeps families thriving together!
