  • Philadelphia Neighborhoods Or a Recommendation of Particular Resources
    A Guide to Philadelphia Neighborhood Resources for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, & their Families City of Neighborhoods: A Guide to Philadelphia Neighborhood Resources for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers and Their Families (2007) Parents need to have a vision about where they see children participating and what they see them doing in the future. It is important for parents and professionals to have a vision of children participating in educational AND community-based opportunities. This guide focuses on assisting parents and professionals to envision a child in community-based opportunities. It is intended as a starting point to inspire thoughts about including children in community-based opportunities. Professionals can use it as a reference that can be carried with them as they visit children and families and work together with caregivers to identify general community resources that support the development and participation of all infants, toddlers and young children in everyday learning opportunities. A special thanks to the parents and professionals who contributed to the creation of the first edition (2002) of this guide and its 2007 revision: Mary Mikus, Suzanne Milbourne, Mary Muhlenhhaupt, Kimberly Rayfield and Jean Ann Vogelman. There are many comprehensive guides and directories that are available in Philadelphia to help professionals find a variety of resources for specific needs. This guide is not intended to replace the wide number of available resources. Nor, is it intended to be a comprehensive listing of all resources in all Philadelphia neighborhoods or a recommendation of particular resources.

  • Latino Philadelphia at a Glance
    Latino Philadelphia at a Glance Puerto Ricans Population: 91,527 estimated by the Census 2000 As of 2000, Philadelphia had the 3rd largest Puerto Rican population outside of Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican population continues to grow from within and through continued migration from Puerto Rico. Where they are living: Presently, the greatest concentration of Puerto Ricans live in North Philadelphia along the 5th and 2nd Street corridor running from Girard Avenue to Roosevelt Boulevard. There are also enclaves of Puerto Rican communities in the Spring Garden and East Poplar neighborhoods, South Philadelphia between Washington and Snyder Avenues and Front and 18th Streets, lower Northeast Philadelphia in Frankford and Juniata Park. Puerto Ricans, Philadelphia’s largest Latino population are distributed throughout the city and area suburbs. There is also a sizable Puerto Rican community in Camden, New Jersey. Philadelphia history: Puerto Rico and Philadelphia were linked primarily through trade in the 18th and 19th century. Puerto Rican pro-independence exiles and organizers, merchants, cigar makers, trades people, laborers, students, and others lived in Philadelphia between the late 1800s and early 1900s. During World War II, more Puerto Rican men and women, most of who were recruited through a government work program, arrived in the area to work on farms, factories and homes. Between 1950 and 1970, the Puerto Rican community grows dramatically to over 60,000, working in factories and other areas and creating the neighborhoods, businesses, and organization recognized as the Puerto Rican/Latino community today. Since 1970, Puerto Ricans have arrived in Philadelphia from Puerto Rico, New York, and other cities with Puerto Rican communities.
