Those of us who remember Bob Dylan will remember the truth in his music.

Rosemount Center, our Center, your Center, has been a changin’

Let’s look at the Changes Rosemount has experienced – and there’s not a bad one in the lot:

1) Changes in our student make-up that have enhanced our socio-economic diversity: Early Head Start, District of Columbia (OSSE) subsidized, and tuition families comprise our three funding and client streams.

2) The change in Head Start law that makes Head Start a better, more competitive tool for providing early childhood education to needy families.

3) The change in the use of our Creative Curriculum that enhances school readiness skills and dual language learning in our early childhood education efforts.

4) The change in technology that allows us to bring in smart boards and smart tablets as part of our partnership with staff.

5) The change in hiring to bring in more teachers with diverse cultural and economic backgrounds and in supporting better teacher education to allow continued improvements in Rosemount’s early childhood education posture.

With these changes, Rosemount has become even stronger in its mission to guide young children and their families to a better future regardless of obstacles in their way. Rosemount remains on course – we know who needs help, how to help them, and how to adapt to changing times.

In this report, we gratefully acknowledge our individual and organizational donors, who have made an investment in the work Rosemount is doing to help change lives.

Who’s afraid of change? Not our Rosemount Center!

JACQUES RONDEAU

Letter from Rosemount’s Chief Executive Officer

Jacques Rondeau President & Chief Executive Officer

“Rosemount Center… brings a positive, secure step in life to young children. The

experience that we give them here, they’re able to go out into the bigger world and

see what it is that we talk about, and the things that we teach, and they can make the

connection from their school, to their home, to their community. Rosemount offers

that to the children and their families.”

– Eleanor Johnson; Rosemount Teacher for over 30 years

Vision Statement

Children and Families Ready for the World

Mission Statement

Rosemount Center’s mission is to prepare children and families for their future by providing comprehensive early childhood education and family support programs in a bilingual and multicultural setting.

In addition to funding from foundation, corporate and individual donors, Rosemount’s programs and services are made possible because of generous funding from the following sources:

The Administration for Children & Families (ACF), a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). ACF is responsible for programs that promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. Funding from ACF allows Rosemount to provide a Head Start Program to low-income families with children ages birth to three. Head Start promotes school readiness of these children by enhancing cognitive, social and emotional development. Over one million children across the United States are served by Head Start annually.

Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), providing aid to child and adult care institutions and family or group day care homes for the provision of nutritious foods that contribute to the wellness, healthy growth, and development of young children, and the health and wellness of older adults and chronically impaired disabled persons. Through CACFP, more than 3.3 million children and 120,000 adults receive nutritious meals and snacks each day as part of the day care they receive.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) Division of Early Learning (DEL) ensuring that all District of Columbia children, from birth to kindergarten entrance, have access to high quality early childhood development programs and are well prepared for school. The Child Care Subsidy/Voucher Program (CCSP) helps eligible families cover the cost of child care. The child care subsidy is based on an assessment of need, income and family size.

House of Mercy (HOM), the oldest existing Episcopal charity in the Diocese of Washington. HOM was founded in the 1880s by members of the Episcopal Church to assist young women in troubled circumstances. Following a magnificent gift in 1910 from Mrs. Julian James, House of Mercy built a mission style building in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, D.C. In 1972, Rosemount Center was created as a separate 501(c)(3) to carry on the programmatic work of the House of Mercy, which generously donates the use of its building and adjacent property to Rosemount for $1 per year.

Rosemount Center Facts

CHILD OUTCOMES:

To determine program impact, Rosemount utilizes The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers and Twos and the Creative Curriculum® for Preschoolers, both of which are based on the latest research on child development, coupled with Partners for a Healthy Baby for the Home-Based program.

The curriculum assessment tool (Teaching Strategies GOLD), used three times per year, helps Rosemount plan for ongoing program improvement and to determine school readiness for individual children, classrooms and home-based caseloads, and agency-wide.

These six developmental areas are measured:

• Social – Emotional: Children learn how to understand their own and others’ feelings, regulate and express their emotions appropriately, build relationships with others, and interact in groups.

• Physical development: Includes children’s gross-motor (large muscle) and fine-motor (small muscle) skills.

• Language: Children’s desire to communicate their thoughts, needs, ideas, and feelings with others.

• Literacy: The knowledge and skills that lay the foundation for reading and writing, such as understanding basic concepts about books or other printed materials, the alphabet, and letter-sound relationships.

• Mathematics: The conceptual understanding of numbers, their relationships, combinations, and operations.

• Cognitive: Children develop their understanding of problem solving, reasoning based on a broad range of circumstances in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practice and talk about their developing understanding.

Child outcome data in 2013-2014 provided evidence that the majority of Rosemount children who were below or meeting benchmarks in the Fall were exceeding benchmarks the following Spring

TOP OF THE CLASS: Changing Lives

“ You just have to make the learning environment positive so the children will want to come back every day. Regardless of what you’re feeling you always have a smile for them, and accept them as they are. It’s a privilege for me to have touched their lives somehow.”

Alma Ang, Rosemount Teacher since 2012, has taught for 37 years

“ I am grateful to Rosemount Center’s Home-Based Program for all the help it has provided my family, which we need very much since I am a single immigrant mother who did not know about the laws or community agencies.”

Yenni Osegueda, Home-based

Parent, Mother of 5 children

“ I feel very thankful to Rosemount Center because ever since I started working here, Rosemount has been like my family. I was also able to achieve my educational goals because of the support I received at Rosemount.

Yecica Villalta, Rosemount Home Visitor since 2010

“ Coming to Rosemount was the best thing that could have happened to me. Rosemount has been a mainstay for my children – for them to be more independent and learn more.”

Elizabeth Gonzalez, Mother of Jonathan (former student) and Camila (current student)

“ [W]e were all very impressed and happy with Peter’s volunteering at Rosemount …[W]hen a 16 year old boy notices the high quality instruction, classroom management, limit setting, guidance, care and concern, you know something amazing is going on.”

Carol, Mother of a student volunteer

“ I feel very grateful to Rosemount because in the past 25 years that I have worked here I’ve been able to grow in my personal life as well as professionally. Today I find myself as a classroom teacher with an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. Thank you, Rosemount Center.”

Maria Elena Hernandez, Rosemount Teacher since 1990
