Welcome to Evening Star Childcare Service NFP, where we nurture young minds and spirits with intention, compassion, and purpose. Located in the heart of Chicago’s South Side, we are a fully licensed, faith-based childcare provider with a trusted reputation for excellence that spans over two decades.
Founded by Executive Director Atisi Riddle, a lifelong educator and child advocate, Evening Star was built to support working families by offering more than just childcare—it’s a community where children are loved, challenged, encouraged, and prepared for life.

Whether your child is taking their first steps, preparing for Pre-K, or needs a safe, enriching space before and after school, you’ll find a welcoming, structured environment where every child belongs.
