Supporting the efforts of parents as primary educators

WELCOME to the CRECHE website!

CRECHE (Children Receiving Education in a Catholic Home Environment) promotes homeschooling among Catholic families who are engaged in providing their children’s primary education at home. With an outreach to all homeschooling families in the surrounding Fox Valley, IL area, CRECHE provides activities that encourage friendship and vibrant family life, striving to help members grow as disciples by bringing Christ to the world.
Specific dates, times, and details for all events can be found on the CRECHE Calendar, which is accessible only to our members. Please note that you will not be able to access the “Members Only” areas of the website until your membership has been processed and we have received payment.

If you are interested in joining CRECHE, please click here for step-by-step instructions. We are an all-volunteer organization, so please allow ample time for us to respond. If you would like more information, please contact us.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is currently CLOSED. CRECHE will not be accepting new member requests from now through the end of the school year. Any new member requests that we receive will be filed away, and those individuals will be contacted once our active registration period begins in summer 2022. Thank you for your understanding.

May God Bless CRECHE and all of our families.

We hope that you have a blessed year!

Your 2021-2023 Board of Directors,
