Needs Assessment for Day Care Services in Little Village
Project Number: 165
Report Date: 1982
Author(s): Bill Peterman
El Hogar del Nino/Cuidar presently operates a day care program located in the Pilsen area, which is bounded by the Chicago River, 16th Street and Western Avenue. The present day care center provides both all-day and after school programs for 80 children, and occupies three rental spaces, originally built for commercial and office uses. El Hogar del Nino has found the present space inadequate for day care use and it is contemplating expanding and/or relocating their program to a building they would purchase on 23rd Street and California.
The possible relocation of El Hogar into this building and the possibility of expanding their program to include the area surrounding the new location, necessitates a preliminary examination of the demand for day care services.
This study examines the potential need for both subsidized and unsubsidized day care services in Little Village, the area surrounding the new building location to the extent possible. It also reviews services that are available within Little Village, and within close proximity to that area.
