Childcare Interest Form

Shimer Square

    Interest Form- Childcare Center

    Please Note: Due to high demand, Economic Growth Corporation established this Interest Form for parents who would like to learn more about the Early Childhood Development Center at Shimer Square. GROWTH is the owner/developer and is not the operator of the childcare center. The Interest Form will be securely maintained by Economic Growth Corporation and shared confidentially with the licensed operator once they are in place. Details on operations and next steps will be provided directly to you by the operator.

    GROWTH anticipates the completion of the center in July 2025, with operations beginning once the operator has obtained its DCFS license and has been cleared to operate by the State Fire Marshall.

    Stay informed by following Shimer Square on Facebook and regularly checking the website for updates. ​

Economic Growth Corporation (GROWTH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community-based development organization and the developer of Shimer Square. At GROWTH, we’re driven by a commitment to honor Shimer Square’s history with the respect it deserves. Our work represents years of dedication, countless hours, and tireless efforts from a passionate, mission-driven team. The total overall investment at Shimer Square will exceed $37 million resulting in at least a 1988.24% increase in tax base in 2025: creating and supporting 260 jobs, along with 51 new housing units, marking the first new construction multifamily development in Carroll County in over 2 decades, along with creating vital childcare openings, and a Resource Center within a previously vacant, underutilized historic campus. Every step forward is a nod to the past and a bridge to the future. 
​Until further notice, due to active construction, the Shimer Square campus located at 203 Seminary Street, Mount Carroll, IL is closed to the general public.
