The Web site for Chicago-area Latvians, overseen by community activist Artis Inka, includes a forum that raises discussion of important questions such as the need for the Chicago Latvian Lutheran congregations to unite, whether one Chicago Latvian Center would be enough to serve the needs of the community and ideas to get Latvians in mixed marriages involved in community activities. The activities calendar is a handy reminder for locals and the photo album gives a good insight into the variety of cultural activities the community is involved in. EN LV (Reviewed November 2003)

The "Stariņš" preschool in Chicago is a full-time daycare center for children aged 2-5. The language of instruction is to be 100 percent Latvian. The center, which opened March 7, 2005, has received accreditation from the State of Illlinois and its preschool curriculum will be based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. All details for prospective parents are available here -- the parent handbook, tuition information, enrolment and health forms. Even the president of Latvia has sent her endorsement of the project.
