As Chicago's second-largest Early Head Start and Head Start provider, we operate four early education centers integrating the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Additionally, through collaborative partnerships with other community-based organizations, we are able to expand our scope, providing high-quality Early Head Start and Head Start services in 15 additional Chicagoland neighborhoods.
Child-Centered Early Learning Centers
We operate four early childhood centers for children aged six weeks to 12 years, integrating the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This approach empowers children to discover their world and learn by leveraging their strengths, igniting long-term learning.
Strengthening Early Childhood Centers
Chicago Commons partners with various sites across the city to expand Head Start and Early Head Start programs, providing technical assistance, coaching, and training. We also offer access to our Family Hub and Senior Services.
In addition to the four Reggio Emilia schools that we operate, we partner with several community based early learning organizations to extend comprehensive Early Head Start and Head Start child care services. Our services include monitoring, training, training, coaching, and technical assistance that supports a collaborative partnership and quality service delivery to children and families.Â
