Ravenswood Community Child Care Center in Chicago, IL

Pre K Description

The mission of Ravenswood Community Child Care Center is to provide a warm, nurturing and safe environment for the children and families enrolled here. Specifically, the early childhood staff seeks:
to teach children to respect themselves, others and their environment
to provide a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment
to provide for all areas of a child's development
to further the mission of the church with regard to teen parents and their efforts at completing high school
to develop creativity and critical thinking skills in children
to provide for children's social and emotional development
to provide opportunities for staff to grow through professional development
to extend ourselves outside of the educational realm and into the community to collaborate with families
to provide resources for parents as needed as well as child development information
to enable administration to act as a support system for parents and staff
During a child's enrollment, there are goals that teachers and parents set together to meet individual needs. Additionally, there are universal goals that all children will meet before leaving the center. Those goals include social/emotional, physical and cognitive skills appropriate to the child's developmental stage which teachers have focused on through observations and lesson planning. Children will have a strong basis for future school success based upon healthy relationships with child care staff. Families will have learned the importance of social/emotional development and will have come away with ways to facilitate that through their participation in the classroom, at conferences with teachers, and through Friends and Family monthly meetings.
Through a growing sense of community within the child care center, families will leave with an increased support network of other families, as well as knowledge about ways in which children learn, what can be expected at various developmental stages of growth, and how to navigate the Chicago Public School system for the benefit of their child.
