DANBURY — Whether dozens of children can remain at the Action Early Learning Center remains in question this week after the center lost its accreditation.

The day care center stands to lose as much as $450,000 annually in state funding that helps support the early childhood education program, which has 125 children up to age six from low-income families.

The center lost its accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children because of two separate incidents, according to Michelle James, executive director of the Community Action Committee of Danbury, the local anti-poverty agency that runs the program.

Although James declined to specify details of the incidents, she said they were cited by the association for “serious violations,” of one or more criteria, including that teachers aren’t allowed to physically punish the students such as by shaking or hitting.

James said the day care center was cited for not having “in place clear written policies or procedures to prevent the violations and didn’t minimize the risk of future violations occurring.”

“We are still providing the children with the tools they need to be successful in life,” she said.

One of the incidents occurred, James said, occurred in April, and another in December 2012 — around the same time the center’s former director, Vivian Colden, was arrested on charges of failing to report an allegation of sexual abuse at the center.

Colden has since been granted a special form of probation by the courts. James added the allegations at the time were determined to be “unsubstantiated.” She said the center is still licensed by the state and is still operating.

“We are still providing the children with the tools they need to be successful in life,” James said.

She said the center will lose a portion of its state reimbursement for 91 of the children in the program, while funding for the remaining 34 children through the school-readiness program should be in place until at least June.

Eileen Costello, coordinator of the local school-readiness program for the Education Connection, said the council overseeing the program may have to re-examine the situation.

While the council agreed Jan. 8 to allow the 34 students to continue at the center through June, when the grant expires, Costello said the council will have to take a new vote based on “new information” that’s come to light.

Costello said they were informed Jan. 6 the accreditation had been revoked. They’ve since learned it was revoked in October. The learning center is required to give 48 hours notice of any changes, Costello said.

“The lack of communication is certainly an issue,” she said. “The council will meet again so we can provide that information and they can make a more informed decision.”

The lack of communication also concerns some city officials.

“It’s very troubling,” said Mayor Mark Boughton, who has led efforts to have the CACD removed as the area’s anti-poverty agency. “It seems like the agency is moving from one crisis to another. This is one of their last programs and now they are losing their accreditation.”

James said they will reapply for accredition, although it can be a lengthy process.

“The quality of our center and the curriculum we provide for all our children is of the highest standards,” she said.

Parents, many of whom were told not to speak with the media about the matter, said Tuesday they weren’t worried about the situation.

“We were told that they can get the accreditation back if they reapply,” said July Miliano, a member of the parent committee at the school. “Of course I’m a little worried, but we’ll have to see what happens.”

Another parent said they’ve been told at least one of the incidents included a child being injured in a classroom.

“From what I’ve been told, it was all just a misunderstanding,” said Mildred Sarceno, who has children at the center.

The CACD had come under fire in recent years by local, state and federal officials for poor management practices and the misappropriation of federal stimulus dollars.

A report commissioned by the state Department of Social Services found the CACD on a strong financial footing, but the agency was “tapping into unrestricted funds” to cover program costs.

The report, by the firm Brown, Buckley and Tucker, said CACD had a net loss of nearly $200,000 in the last fiscal year.

YWCA Greater Cleveland – Programs: Early Learning Center

About the Early Learning Center

When you visit the Early Learning Center, you will sense right away that this is a happy place – not only for the children, but also for the teaching faculty. Everyone on staff is doing what they love most – working with children and families to establish a solid educational foundation. For more than 100 years, the YWCA has been providing high-quality early childhood education for children ages three to five years while empowering mothers and fathers to pursue their career and educational goals.

YWCA incorporates a therapeutic approach and two-generational model into its Early Learning Center model to best serve children age 3 to 5. This innovative trauma-informed model will assess and identify the social-emotional needs of the children, work with families to create case plans, achieve goals, prevent re-occurrence of homelessness, and empower families to achieve and maintain the highest level of self-sufficiency.

The Early Learning Center offers a uniquely diverse child care setting for families who live and work throughout Greater Cleveland. Experienced educators teach a child-centered curriculum, and children learn to celebrate differences from a young age.

Early Learning Center parents stay engaged and up to date through various communication channels, family events, support groups, and parent action teams.

To enroll your child at the Early Learning Center, please follow the process below:

  • Call us at 216.881.6878 and ask to speak with LaTishia Gomez

Location

The Early Learning Center is conveniently located between University Circle and downtown, in the administrative building of YWCA Greater Cleveland.

4019 Prospect Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44103

The Early Learning Center is open:
Monday – Friday, 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM

The ELC is currently enrolling children 3 to 5 years of age. The ELC is closed eight days throughout the year for holidays and staff development.

Curriculum

Preschool

The Early Learning Center has a whole-child approach to teaching preschoolers, accounting for their mind, body, and soul. We celebrate the diversity of children and encourage them to learn about and respect their differences.

Preparing children for kindergarten comes naturally in our classrooms. YWCA preschool teachers help children internalize routines and rules to help them get along with others. Teachers also help children understand that there are many different ways to learn and be successful. We support each child’s individual strengths, which helps to foster their self-esteem.

Pre-K

Pre-K prepares children to enter kindergarten by teaching self-help skills, developing their attention spans, and fostering learning independence. Children develop a love of learning while they become accustomed to working independently, participating in group activities, and completing interest-based projects. Teachers help children understand the daily routines of a structured classroom while still focusing on child-centered, creative learning.

Our Goal

To prepare children for kindergarten and empower families to achieve and maintain the highest level of self-sufficiency.

Studies show that upon entering kindergarten, children who participate in early childhood education programs demonstrate greater language, literacy, and math development than children who go directly from home care to kindergarten.

Committed to Quality

YWCA’s Early Learning Center provides:

  • Lower teacher-to-child ratios
  • Higher teacher education levels
  • A focus on professional development
  • Early childhood mental health consultation
  • Effective administration practices
  • Strong implementation of an evidence-based curriculum

OUR LOCATIONS COME AND VISIT US:

Our vision is to be the recognized leader in providing the best care for infants, preschool, and school-age children in Broward County.

The early childhood years are the most important time in the life of a family and the most influential time for children as they start on the road to learning. Children of this age are naturally curious and interested in the world around them. This magical time of extraordinary cognitive, emotional and physical growth, combined with an excellent early childhood program, sets the foundation for later learning and social relationships.

At Kids in Action, we welcome both children and parents into a community and a partnership with teachers. Starting school for the first time is a big leap for both parents and children. This experience must be a process of establishing trust with parents and teachers so children can become independent as they grow in their confidence to manage the world outside of home. We want children to feel safe to explore a new environment, new materials and new relationships. Children need to feel valued when others listen to them and learn that what they say and do is important and has an effect on others.

We look forward to being partners with you as we guide and encourage your children to grow and discover themselves as young learners.

“Our son goes to this daycare and we are really pleased with the charisma of all the teachers and the dedication. We wanted a place with good room for our son to play in and a clean place with a good curriculum. But most importantly, a place where he would be loved, and we are really happy we found it. The other day my wife called me and said that when she dropped him off all the other kids starting hugging him, after work I came home with his smile in my face when I know my son is in great and caring hands. Priceless!”

When parents first visit and tour a Kids In Action facility, the most common response is “Wow. ” What a fun place for children. As you tour, you will discover that areas have been thoughtfully designed to help the discovery and learning process. Colors and shapes support the child’s development. Areas and furnishings are scaled to a child’s perspective, in order that they feel comfortable, secure and confident. Our distinctive environment is stimulating and creative, with an aesthetic mix of colors which brain research verifies affects our moods and behaviors. As you walk through the unique Kids In Action facility, you will notice that the pale blue and white colors in the interiors of the school are calming and increase feelings of well-being. Splashes of red are energizing and encourage creativity, while the yellow, off-white and beige colors in the facility and classrooms are optimal for positive feelings and learning.

Another important area of the facility is the Kids In Action attention to nutrition, where well-balanced meals are served fresh daily. Kids In Action believes that good nutrition is very important to fuel a child’s brain. Snacks are provided throughout the day. You will notice that our facility is clean and fresh smelling. Classrooms are organized and toys and materials neatly stored. It’s all part of the Kids in Action philosophy to be the best of the best and provide a safe, nurturing and healthy environment for your child every day. Kids In Action offers a secure, learning-enhanced environment that supports a child’s brain development. Children feel comfortable and confident, both indoors and out. It is a place that is your child’s world rather than the world of an adult. A place where children are able to express themselves while they learn, laugh and play.

School of early development as a stage in the implementation of the continuity of preschool and primary general education

Zhirikova, E. N. School of early development as a step in the implementation of the continuity of preschool and primary general education / E. N. Zhirikova, N. M. Korshikova. – Text: direct // Young scientist. – 2019. – No. 17 (255). — S. 216-217. — URL: https://moluch.ru/archive/255/58487/ (date of access: 28.09.2022).



School education never starts from scratch, but always relies on a certain stage of development carried out by the child.

L. S. Vygotsky

According to the definition of D. B. Elkonin, preschool and primary school age is one epoch of human development, called “childhood”. He believed that children aged 3-10 should live a common life, developing and learning in a single educational space. Therefore, the problem of continuity in education is not new.

The transition period from preschool to school childhood is considered the most difficult and vulnerable. And it is no coincidence that at present the need to preserve the integrity of the educational environment is one of the most important priorities for the development of education in Russia.

Supplementary education of children is a relevant and necessary link in the system of continuous education, aimed at the comprehensive satisfaction of the educational needs of a person in intellectual, spiritual, moral, physical and professional improvement.

In the MBUDO “Center for the Development of Creativity” in the city of Gubkin, Belgorod Region, since 2010, the School of Early Development “Mom’s Clever Girl” has been successfully operating.

The School trains children from 4 to 7 years old, including both pupils of pre-school educational institutions of the city, and unorganized children.

The main goal of the organization of the School of Early Development is to create conditions, a developing environment for the full mental development of the child through the organization of joint activities of children and adults.

The achievement of this goal is ensured in the process of solving the main tasks:

– develop cognitive processes (perception, memory, attention, imagination, thinking) and mental operations (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, classification, etc. ) in students in accordance with the age norm;

– develop the aesthetic feelings of children, creative abilities, introduce children to creativity, traditions and customs of folk culture.

– to help the child perceive teachers as partners in the game in a game situation. Help children master the ways of role-playing behavior: establish multiple connections of roles, easily move from one role to another;

– to promote health and improve the development of the physical data of the child.

– to form in students the prerequisites for learning activities (self-control, self-assessment, generalized methods of action) and the ability to interact with each other.

– to form the skills of cultural behavior in everyday life, to cultivate respect for nature, love for the native city, respect for its traditions.

Education of children is carried out according to the additional general educational (general developmental) program “Mom’s smart girl”, which contains thematic sections: “Literacy”, “Speech development”, “Simple mathematics”, “English language”, “Rhythmoplasty”, “Theatre for kids”, ” Vocal”, “Hour of educational games”, “Fine”.

This content is not accidental. It creates conditions for the manifestation of the abilities and giftedness of the child in various fields (musical, artistic, linguistic and physical), harmonious development, cognitive interest and play activities. However, the specified set of items is approximate. Depending on the staffing of teachers, their qualifications, the relevant material and technical conditions, subjects can be changed or supplemented with new ones. The main thing at the same time is to ensure the comprehensive development of the child’s personality, his social growth.

The program is designed for three years: 1st year – the initial period of study; 2nd year – the period of improving the acquired knowledge; 3rd year – a period of activation and consolidation of acquired knowledge.

Education under the program is focused on the social development of the personality of a preschool child. The main thing is not the maximum acceleration of the development of the child, not the formation of the timing and pace of transferring him to the “rails” of school age, but, above all, the creation of conditions for each preschooler for the most complete disclosure of his age-related capabilities and abilities.

The organization of classes at the School is an intermediate link between the lesson and various forms of extracurricular activities. The training is based on playing activity, which corresponds to the age characteristics of preschool children.

Classes that are held in a playful way, in an atmosphere of goodwill, allow you to study without stress and overcome the barrier that often arises during the transition to school conditions, meeting new people (classmates, teachers).

Teachers of the School use a variety of forms of activities with children: quizzes, holidays, competitions, dance and entertainment programs. Every season, open classes and exhibitions of students’ creative works are held for parents.

The following theatrical dance and entertainment programs for students and parents of the School of Early Development have become traditional for students and parents of the ShRR “Mom’s Smart Girl”: “New Year in the Far Far Away Kingdom”, “Gift for Moms”, “Harvest Autumn”, “Parade of Stars”. As part of such events, students demonstrate the skills and abilities acquired in the classroom: they sing songs, dance, participate in dramatizations, read poetry.

A high level of teaching, a comfortable environment, and playful activities attract a large number of parents who strive to prepare their child for school in a quality manner and facilitate the adaptation period. Studying at the School of Early Development creates equal starting conditions for receiving primary education and makes quality education available at the first stage.
