The City is the owner of 5731 Pembroke Road and an adjacent 25' wide vacant parcel. The building is operated as a day care facility known as the Sue Gunzburger-Washington Park Child Care Center pursuant to a license agreement between the City and Washington Park Child Care Center, Inc. dated February 22, 2013.
Greater than half of Gunzburger-Washington Park Child Care Center clients are low- to moderate-income (LMI) families and households. Child care is one of the most significant expenses in a family budget, often exceeding the cost of housing, college tuition, transportation, or food. Therefore, the Sue Gunzburger - Washington Park Child Care Center is of considerable benefit to the Washington Park neighborhood and surrounding area.
