A not-for-profit organization serving families on the west side of Chicago. Empowering Parents to shape their children's futures through nurturing support + education + parent-child music classes We believe every child, in every zip code, deserves high quality early learning experiences, a healthy family, and safe place to live.

Best of Proviso Township is a member-funded association that supports the Proviso and surrounding Communities through member involvement. The association plans to use our pool of talent, expertise and networking ability to model, mentor, monitor and motivate. As a group, we are looking to help our children with life long decisions as we keep them motivated throughout their journeys. We intend to model good citizenship, mentor the next generation and spotlight the positives in their lives and the lives of others; we will monitor growth and dispel negativity and low self worth. The Association will motivate this type of behavior so that it will become contagious and multiply.
