...Even though some studies support what we have shown before, there are others that suggest a more negative correlation between children’s social and emotional development and their participation in ASPs(Dynarski, et al. 2004). 2.3. After school programs: Challenges The variety of needs and expectations of parents and schools have generated pressure within the after school evolution. Parents need after school programs to provide supervision for their children, while schools expect additional academic support. In order to function and fulfill the expectation of both, parents and school, after school programs must overcome two major misconceptions: that after school programs are childcare, and that after school programs are an extension of the school day. 2.3.1 After school programs are childcare One of the advantages of after school programs is indeed the possibility to leave your child in a safe, supervised environment, but the same goes for school. It is often that parents view after school primarily as a safe place for their children to spend the time while they are working. Therefore, parents tend to use after school in a sporadic and inconsistent manner. Research shows that the one factor that most limits a program’s positive impact on youth is inconsistent attendance (Kane, T....

... coordinating meetings, putting together policies, maintain websites, paying vendors, developing academic programs, maintain reports with parents and so forth. The list goes on and on and every step and task is just as important as the least important. I chose Strategic Planning in Administration because the administrating team does majority the tedious task to make the daily operations run more smoothly. So the big question is why is Strategic planning so important in administration? Strategic planning is so important because it is the “road map” to the success of the company. It helps a company have more organization on where to focus, where resources will disburse and to make sure everyone is on the same page. Strategic planning is critical to business success and differs from classic business planning; the strategic variety involves vision, mission and outside-of-the-box thinking. Strategic planning gives you a better understanding on where you want your company to go, not necessarily how you're going to get there. However, like all other "travel plans," without knowing where you want to go, creating details on how to arrive are meaningless. Strategic planning defines the "where" that your company is heading. Mission Statement According to ( Businessdictionary.com 2013), a mission statement is “A sentence describing a company's function, markets and competitive advantages; a short written statement of your business goals and philosophies” Strategic planning starts with...

...This essay will look at the physical and psychological needs of a three year old child. All children have needs and these needs will change over a child’s lifetime. The Oxford English Dictionary describes a “need” as something that is a requirement, “because it is essential or very important rather than just desirable” (OED, 1989, v. 1.). Both the physical and psychological development of a three year old child will be examined in order to determine what needs are required for this development to take place. Ways in which childcare settings can meet these varied needs will also be discussed. Finally examples will be given of what the consequences might be for a child whose basic developmental needs have not been met. A three year old child’s physical development encompasses quite a lot. From their growth i.e. their height and weight to their muscle development and gross and fine motor skills. At this stage of their development a child will start to learn about h/his own body and how s/he can control it. As his balance improves s/he will be able, through practice, to start to do things s/he had previously been unable to do. H/His independence is also growing and s/he will often want to do things without adult interference. S/He is beginning to explore h/his world at a much greater level than before. H/His natural curiosity can only flourish however so long as s/he remains within a safe and secure setting which is structured and predictable and has limits and boundaries...

...While some employers are successful in building bridges to community colleges, many opportunities are poorly advertised and generate little engagement with community college students. And finally, while America’s College Promise ensures increased financial stability through free and reduced tuition, David Brooks has noted that tuition represents only a fifth of the cost of community college life. The greatest challenge community college students face are often personal expenses: textbooks, transportation, housing, childcare cost, and foregone wages affect students more deeply. Moreover, community college tuition is already quite inexpensive for students from low-income families who qualify for Pell grants and other sources of financial aid. In 2002, 38 percent of community college students have their whole tuition covered by grant aid. A third of students had only hundreds of dollars in fees. However, the least expensive schools do not experience increased retention rates, and in many cases suffer from increased attrition. While community colleges in California are among the most affordable, a majority of California community college students never complete their...

...for your child during those vital, formative years is one of the biggest challenges you'll face as a parent. 90% of a child's brain develops before kindergarten. It's important to find a care giver who provides the loving, fun, interactive care their precious child's brain needs. Helping Hands Child Care has been formed to provide quality licensed daycare to families in Saskatoon, providing a safe and healthy environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old to learn and grow. The small atmosphere of Helping Hands Child Care will provide a home-like, stable setting, which is crucial to children at this stage in their life. Caring for fewer children allows for more one on one attention than is typically possible in a center-based childcare facility. In Saskatchewan, only not-for-profit centres are eligible for public funding of any kind. There are usually no (or very few) for-profit centres. There is a large market for licensed home day cares, as there is a centre-based space available for only 10.5% of children aged 0-5 years and only a regulated space for only 7.2% of children aged 0-12 years in Saskatchewan. Canadian women are on a slippery slope. Although the majority of women with children are in the paid labour force in Canada (about 75% of mothers of three year olds), access to child care is limited and more-or-less static. There are child care spaces to cover less than 20% of 0-12 year olds and for families with infants, toddlers, children with disabilities, in...

Read Issue 17: Are Professional Women “Opting Out” of Work by Choice? This reading is located in the Taking Sides text. 0. Provide in text citations within each response and references at the end of the worksheet that follow APA guidelines. 0. Each response is worth 5 points, and each response must have a minimum of 250 words. Linda Hirschman and Pamela Stone present two opposing opinions as to why women are opting out of work. After reading both sides answer the following questions. 1. Summarize the main points of Linda Hirschman’s argument. In order for women not to “opt out” of the workplace, where does Hirschman feel that most change (home or the workplace) needs to take place and why? Linda Hirschman believes that there is, “the belief that women are responsible for child-rearing and homemaking was largely untouched by decades of workplace feminism (parg.6).” She goes on in Homeward Bound to talk about how women and men are taught that women are conditioned. She says that both sexes say that women are meant to stay home with the children. This is also where she talks about the most change that is needed in society. She believes that it isn’t just a woman’s responsibility. She also goes on to talk about feminism not being radical enough. She uses statistics of the rate of women with degrees...
