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 NAEYC produces a peer review journal that looks at the best practices for early education. The practices focus on the cognitive, physical and emotional/social growth of the child.

The teachers enable an environment of caring and a value system that makes students feel accepted. The main aim of the practice is to help the learners feel safe and be able to open up. The second insight I received was that teachers should practice developing students from their strengths.

The teachers implement a comprehensive curriculum that encompasses different areas of development for the betterment of the
