PAGE THREE
Day Nursery Striving For Accreditation Tulia Wheat Growers To
Hold Meeting Tonight
Continued from Page One
director added that "already, we are much more than
baby sitters and we hope to continue to improve."
Mrs. King added, "We're giving good care and
planning our curriculum in order to have well-rounded
children ready to start to public school. They get a head
start by being here under our curriculum."
For a child in the day nursery for eight or more
hours, Mrs. King explained, two-thirds of that child's
daily nutritional needs are met. Breakfast, lunch and
afternoon supplement are served.
The day nursery’s food preparation-nutrition pro-
gram operates under USDA guidelines.
LENDS CREDITABILITY
"As far as the board is concerned," said Regina
Emmitt, a director, "accreditation just lends a little
more creditability to our day nursery. Our nursery is
not just a day care cctner, but it also has educational
purposes.
"We are certainly not looking down our nose at any
other form of child care, but we fell this facility is one
of the best ways to work with and train children."
Mrs. Emmitt pointed out that the matter of child
care is "such an emotional issue" with parents. She
said it is important for parents’ "peace of mine" to
realize that their offspring are under the guidance of
competent individuals.
CRITERIA LISTED
N AE YC lists the following criteria for "high quality
early childhood programs":
1. Interactions among staff and children
2. Curriculum
3. Staff-parent interaction
4. Staff qualifications and development
5. Administration
6. Staffing
7. Physical environment
8. Health and safety
9. Nutrition and food service
10. Evaluation.
Mrs. King terms the accreditation and self-evalu-
ation processes as "an ongoing program. We must
continue to grow and develop."
Data from NAEYC stated: "Accreditation has futh-
ered our efforts in the public policy arena. NAEYC
staff have been called on to brief members of Congress
on the importance of standards and the impact of
various indicators of quality on outcomes for children.
"When evaluating licensing standards, state offi-
cials use accreditation criteria as a benchmark for
comparison. South Carolina based their Quality As-
surance Standards, used to make Title XX funding
decisions, on accreditation criteria."
ADVANTAGES OUTLINED
The World Bank Children's Center in Washington,
D.C., discovered that the building in which it was
housed would be demolished. The World Bank, the
organization that sponsors the center, committed itself
to constructing a new center in another of its down-
town Washington, D.C., buildings.
However, there was a very specific zoning problem
with the area of the building that was chosen for
remodeling. No other space was suitable, and a time
element was involved. It would be necessary to gain
the prompt endorsement of a neighborhood associa-
tion in order to secure a zoning change.
Director Pearl Waxman stated: "We quickly got on
the agenda for the next neighborhood meeting to
present our case. One endorsement we presented was
a letter from Barbara Kamara, executive director of
the District of Columbia Office of Early Childhood
Development. She commended us for being the first
employer child development center in the District to
be accredited by the National Academy of Early
Childhood Programs.’
"The neighborhood board found this mark of qual-
ity impressive and saw value in its meaning. Their
unanimous endorsement and approval were given that
evening."
Dorothy McKenzie is director of the First Presbyte-
rian Weekday School in Gastonia, N.C., which re-
cently gained accreditation. She said:
"The self-study process was a real growing experi-
ence for us. The administration section enabled us to
turn vague policies and practices into clear
recordkeeping. The classroom observation process
brought the director and teachers intoacloscr relation-
ship with open discussion about ail phases of the
Our self-esteem and pride have been elevated.
Being accredited, we now have die courage and back-
ing that we need to address our church for expanded
financial support to raise teachers' salaries."
SIDE BENEFITS
"It even allows for reduced insurance rates," Mrs.
King explained.
The welfare reform act is causing significant
changes in the Department of Human Resources. "But
July 1990," a formula is expected to be in place to
allow parents who qualify for federal child care assis-
tance to choose the facility in which they want their
children placed.
If we have an accredited school," Mrs. King be-
lieves, "parents should realize the value of it and want
their children to be placed here."
In addition to the desire for accreditation, the Tulia
Day Nursery board and administration are seeking to
improve the physical facilities. The next major en-
deavor being envisioned is a storm shelter, which
leaders would like to have in place before next spring.
As the administrator mentioned, upgrading of both
the curriculum and facilities must be "ongoing" pro-
grams.
A meal, distribution of dividend
checks, business meeting and drawing
for door prizes will highlight the 55th
annual stockholders meeting of Tulia
Wheat Growers, Inc., which is sched-
uled to begin at 8 p. m. today (Thursday)

House, dividend checks totaling

holders.

Boyclt and her staff at the high school
cafeteria.

valued at $75 each.
