Skip-a-Long Child Development Services provides early care and education through seven centers across Illinois and Iowa, including Milan, Rock Island, Moline, and Davenport. The organization serves children from 6 weeks to 12 years year-round, offering preschool programs aligned to state standards and before/after school plus summer options. It operates as part of SAL Family and Community Services, a nonprofit dedicated to helping children and families thrive through high-quality child care and support services. The program emphasizes safe, nurturing environments with nutritionally balanced meals and access to in-house mental health therapists, and it operates the Home Child Care Network to connect families with licensed home-based providers; it also offers Open Door crisis assistance funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services to provide immediate intervention and referrals for essential needs. In 2025, Skip-a-Long announced an expansion in Rock Island with a 32,500-square-foot facility designed to increase capacity by about 25 percent.
