Commons was one of the first preschools in the U.S. to use the Reggio Emilia approach to educating young children, and has garnered regional and national recognition for our approach, results, and adaptations of the method. The Reggio Emilia approach is an educational philosophy that views the preschool years as crucial to the development of children as individuals. The program is based on principles of respect, responsibility, and community, and empowers children to learn through self-directed discovery. Chicago Commons tailors the Reggio Emilia approach to meet the needs of each child. We work from the recognition that every student has the potential to love learning and, ultimately, be academically successful.Commons' four, year-round early education centers provide quality Early Head Start, Head Start, Preschool For All, Prevention Initiative, and child care services for children from birth to 12 years. 11566753 12543874 Senior Services:Chicago Commons Senior Services operates one adult day service center and provides in-home services for seniors and adults with disabilities. The program provided services to 1,448 seniors and adults with disabilities to help them continue living in their own home prolonging, and in some cases preventing, the need for institutional care. 273088 11129 0 Family Hub:Chicago Commons Family Hub Program operates with the goal of improving families with children enrolled in our early education program with employment, education and financial opportunities.

Under this guidance, Commons may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Commons and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting period presented in the financial statements.
