Letter from Rosemount’s Chief Executive Officer
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.
JACQUES RONDEAU
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) T
he 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
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.”
–E
leanor Johnson; Rosemount Teacher for over 30 years
Our Major Funding Partners
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.
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.
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 homebased caseloads, and agency-wide.
These six developmental areas are measured:
• S ocial – 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

TOP OF THE CLASS: Changing Lives
“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
“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 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

“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
“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.”
“[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.”
Elizabeth Gonzalez,
Mother of Jonathan
(former student) and
Camila (current student)
