Crisis Nursery creates an "Island of Safety" dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect by providing 24-hour emergency care for children - ages birth through six- and support to strengthen families in crisis. The Nursery lets families define their crisis. Common reasons for child care admissions include high parental stress, medical emergencies, job or school related, and home crises such as homelessness or domestic violence. The Nursery is the only emergency-based child care facility in Champaign County that is open 24 hours, 365 days a year for the entire community to access with no fees or income eligibility. Rabbits will be gifted to children who visit the Nursery throughout the year.
