Community presence and its social impacts

¶ … Director Can Collaborate With the Local Community;

Create a program that gets the local community involved

Include the parents in the planning of the curriculum of the children

Develop curriculum that ensure the students participate in community-based programs like planting of tree, giving to the poor and charity events

The director can involve the leaders of the community in the curriculum of the school that will make the community feel part of the program.

The example below shows a live account of how the community and an early education center collaborated and my advice to the director.

My first piece of advice to the director would be to use the local schools. The director in my view would be a director for early childhood education. Valeska Hilton acts as an example of an early childhood center for education. The director used the local school district in order to create a partnership program. The director alongside the local schools wrote a grant to the VHECEC for funding of their program. The program got the majority of the VHECEC funding. This activity enabled the education center to interact and be included in the school district. The program help to reduce the gaps that existed in the education of students like the number of under privileged children that got access to quality education and expansion of talents rather than simple education. The school district raised areas in education where improvement was required and the early education center addresses those issues thus preventing occurrence. The program also improved transition from early education systems to primary school education thus improving achievements by students.

The Valeska Hilton institution for early childhood education

This examples show community collaboration and the ability to fulfill dreams

On 25th, August, 1993, the first students to attend the early education institution in the city of Peoria were admitted. The parents and students were welcomed to the institutions with smiles and tears of joy by over twenty people who worked to create the dream of the institution. The institution could hold 278 students for early education (Bruno). The city was brought to life by the institution since it represented the hopes and dreams of the parents in the city. The institution gave the community hope that the children will have a bright future. The planning and construction involved the; district staff, personnel from YMCA, daycare centers, urban league, head start, public building commission, school board, and the superintendent. The local universities, colleges and local business also contributed. Unity created from the collaboration of the parties involved created the $7,000,000 Valeska institution (Bruno).
