Brightpoint Bloomington Crisis Nursery

Brightpoint Bloomington Crisis Nursery Brightpoint engages with over 30,000 children youth and families each year in 67 counties in Illinois

Bloomington Crisis Nursery provides nurturing and attentive care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year to children ages birth through six years old. The Crisis Nursery understands many families are isolated with little to no support system. The Crisis Nursery staff offer a helping hand to relieve parental stress caused by illness, homelessness, domestic violence, mental health and subst

ance abuse issues, home crisis, and for medical and other appointments. The goal of the Crisis Nursery program is to provide overburdened parents with facilitated breaks, crisis counseling, stress reduction therapy, family stability and positive parenting education. The Crisis Nursery offers supportive services that link parents and caregivers to community resources to help them cope and problem-solve. Most importantly, research has shown the Crisis Nursery helps to greatly reduce parental stress that leads to child maltreatment. In its holistic approach to crisis management, the program provides basic needs services including access to necessities such as diapers, wipes and formula. The Crisis Nursery is an active and founding member of the Illinois Crisis Nursery Coalition.

Every day at the Crisis Nursery is filled with bright colors, big smiles, and little hands creating something new. Behind all that fun is something truly powerful — these activities give children comfort, stability, and a sense of safety during moments when their families need support the most. Crisis Nurseries change lives in significant ways, and I'm grateful to be part of a place where play, care, and compassion come together to make a real difference.

Did you know there are 7 Crisis Nurseries in Illinois? Each one is committed to protecting children and strengthening families when they need it most. These nurseries offer a safe, nurturing place for kids during emergencies—no judgment, no barriers—just support.

Our Bloomington leadership team recently had the opportunity to visit the Mini O'Beirne Crisis Nursery in Springfield. All seven Nurseries work together to collaborate across the state. Together, they share ideas, strengthen best practices, and support one another to ensure families receive the highest quality of care no matter where they turn.

We're grateful for every Crisis Nursery in Illinois and the vital work they do every day.
