DescEarly Education: Chicago Commons operates four high quality early education centers and works with a dozen community partner sites to provide child care and education to more than 1,400 children in some of Chicago's most distressed neighborhoods. 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.Desc

DescAdult Education & Youth ServicesChicago Commons Adult Education program in West Humboldt Park has helped thousands of adults and families pursue goals of improving their employment, education and financial position. In 2013, Chicago Commons became an official Financial Opportunities Center (FOC). The FOC was developed because of a longstanding community development partnership in Humboldt Park between Chicago Commons and the Chicago Local Income Support Corporate (LISC). Our adult education program offers basic adult education, digital literacy, financial support, income support and employment coaching. Chicago Commons partners with partners with underperforming schools, providing academic enrichment and parent engagement components, as well as in-school behavioral health supports to enhance school and community.Desc

Part X, Line 2:Commons is exempt from income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Commons may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than 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 (UBIT). 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. Commons files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. Commons is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years before 2012.
