100-year anniversary

After a century helping families succeed, the Mary Crane Center is proud to announce two Centennial Celebrations.

Community Carnival

The Community Carnival will be held on May 31, 2008 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm., in the 2800 block of N. Leavitt. This fun-filled family day will commemorate the organization’s 100th year of service to the children and families of Chicago. It will feature rides, face painters, a DJ spinning family friendly music and light refreshments.

The Centennial Celebration will also offer recruitment and enrollment opportunities for new families interested in joining the Mary Crane family. We warmly welcome children 6 weeks – 5 years old. Through our partnerships with city, state and federal agencies we provide full and half day Head Start, PreSchool for All and Child Care services.
