Mission

Our mission is to contribute to the overall wellness and development of society, and to provide quality social and educational services to families in our community.

Vision

The Reggio Emilia Montessori Center (REMC) is a learning community committed to supporting the development of young children. Our early childhood center employs a whole child approach to ensure that each student is engaged and challenged in a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and kindness and respect for others. We are passionate about creating access to quality social services and reducing economic inequality in urban areas.

Our South Bronx Team

We are expanding our work in the South Bronx! We currently work with community members through the Bronx H.Y.P.E Family Enrichment Center. Family Enrichment Centers (FECs) are warm and welcoming community gathering places where any family or individual can come for support, information, and to participate in and/or lead activities (called “offerings”). FECs are based on the premise that community members design and drive the FEC’s activities or offerings. We are excited to further our mission through the implementation of the School-Based Early Support model in South Bronx public schools.

The Division of Prevention Services (DPS) in the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) is renaming and redesigning the programs formerly known as ACS Beacon Prevention. Through the redesign, ACS intends to offer families a menu of flexible service options that strive to connect families to community resources through case management, address families’ concrete needs, support parents/caregivers, and avoid unnecessary investigations. The Reggio Emilia Montessori Center will implement this model in public schools located in School Districts 7 and 12.

Program Supervisor Position Description

The Program Supervisor is primarily responsible for supervising and supporting case planners and case aides, ensuring case goals are met and families are receiving quality services, building strong relationships with schools in districts 7 and 12, and attending agency meetings and events. This role is ideal for someone who is extremely passionate about equity and access to high quality educational and social services. This position requires a commitment to trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices. The Program Supervisor will report directly to the Program Director.
