About
About McCormick Institute for Early Childhood
The McCormick Institute for Early Childhood at National Louis University, established in 2024 with investment from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, provides professional development, technical assistance, coaching, assessment, applied research, program evaluation, community, and policy engagement. It focuses on early childhood education, workforce development, and leadership, operating in Chicago, Lisle, and Wheeling, IL. While it offers events and training, it primarily functions as an institute for institutional programs and community engagement rather than a major national conference organizer like NAEYC.
