CARING FOR
CHICAGO’S CHILDREN
JUST ONE YEAR LATER,
ACROSS THE CITY,
ANOTHER STORY BEGAN.
In 1915, the Daughters
of Charity opened the
DePaul Day Nursery
and Settlement House,
caring for children
while mothers stepped
into the workforce and
families adjusted to a
world at war.

welcomed more families
• Early education
for young children
• A gymnasium and thrift

and community
