DEVELOPMENT: The Child
Development Component of your Head Start program was developed to provide
your child with a learning environment and varied experiences which will help
them to develop socially, intellectually, physically, and emotionally in a
manner appropriate to their age and stage of development. To achieve this, we will focus on the following
throughout the year: ·
Strive to integrate the educational
aspects of the other program components in daily program activities; ·
Involve YOU in educational activities to
enhance your role as the most important influence on your child's education
and development; ·
Assist YOU in increasing your knowledge,
understanding, skills and experience in child growth and development; and ·
Identify and reinforce experiences, which
occur in your home that you can utilize as educational activities for your
child. Contact: Alamance County (JSS site):
