Daycare Needs Assessment
1998

The Resident Management Corporation (RMC) of Wentworth Gardens, a Chicago public housing development, requested assistance to assess the needs and resources available to develop a child daycare program. The City Design Center investigated the regulatory, legal, and financial requirements for the proposed daycare center. The City Design Center further assisted the RMC to develop, distribute, and analyze a survey to assess Wentworth residents’ daycare needs and the roles the residents could play in the development, management, and staffing of a daycare center. According to Roberta Feldman, “This information has been vital to Wentworth RMC’s ability to seek funds for the project.”
