Today, on National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous communities across this land.

This day is a reminder to reflect on the resilience, strength, and knowledge that Indigenous Peoples have shared for generations.

Little City Foster Care recognizes the importance of Yom Kippur and wishes everyone peace and goodness.

Did you know? Little City foster parents continue to receive training every month even after they complete the licensing process. In 2025, we have held trainings on topics including trauma, attachment, child development, LGBTQIA+ youth, and more. We love seeing our foster parents grow their knowledge and skills!

One of the best ways you can help us support youth in foster care is to spread the word! Tell a neighbor, bring it up in one of your community networks, or share this post with a friend. There are so many ways to support youth in foster care, and we need your help to do it!

We are so excited to announce that our Behavioral Health Clinic will be hosting its first Developmental Screening Clinic on October 4th! This FREE family-friendly screening at our Chicago office will provide caregivers and families with resources and referrals. See the flyer for more information! More sessions to come in the future!

Little City Foster Care wishes everyone a happy First Day of Fall! We hope everyone enjoys the cooler weather and embraces this season of change.

We are excited to offer another Foster Parent Support Group on Thursday, September 25th! This month's topic is Managing Challenging Transitions. One of our clinical supervisors will lead a discussion around tips & tricks for helping transitions go more smoothly, especially as students are heading back to school. This can be a great way for foster parents to learn and hear from others who really know what it's like. Want to join? Contact any member of our staff or [email protected] for the Zoom information!
