I think it’s a great idea.

Do you think the paper can makeit here?

I think it could go over very well, especially right now when there are a lot of things going on. But I think there will have to be something special about it.

We think it's very nice. I took it home to my wife and she looked at it. She likes it, too.

What would you like to see in the paper?

I think maybe alittle cartoon strip to catch the eye of people. It wouldn't have to be long. Just a little cartoon.

The Center is at 826 E. Boulder in the previously unused parsonageof the church. Mrs. Thais Cawthon is director of the new Center and is state licensed to care for 25 youngsters. She is assisted by pre-school teacher Laithier Davis. Mrs. Cawthon is graduated from Pike’s Peak Community College with an Associate Degree in Child Development and says she was motivated to return to school by her concern for her two daughters. —Delia, 5, and Danielle, 4. ‘‘l wanted to know how to yap my girls when they go to school,’’ said Mrs. Caw- on. Developing a meansof income for her family was a second reason for her interest in the PPCC Child Care Program. ‘‘When | entered the program | only Biblical Inspiration expected to becomea day care mother, caring for my two children and four other children,’ she said. ““But the teachers at PPCC inspired me to try some- For The Week thing larger,”’ shesaid. “Godis able.”’—II Corinthians 9:8

Now Mrs. Cawthon begins her day at 5 a.m. in order to open the Center by 6 a.m. Breakfast is pro- vided to early arrivals at 7:30 a.m., and activity cen- ters are placed in the large roomsto interest the child- ren before classes begin. At9a.m. Ms Davis begins to work with the children in planned activities, which all focus on experiences and skills the children will need to prepare them for success in school. The children learn numbers, shapes, science, music and instruments, arts and crafts, etc. The purpose of the activities is to keep the child’s attention and interest in a way that makes learning fun. Recently, children at the Center planted wheat for a science project about plants. Later in the year they will make bread from the wheatthey grew. An outdoorplay time is held before lunch is served at noon. Hot meals are prepared daily and meat the state nutrition requirements for schools. Afternoons begin with a two-hour nap, then a snack a brief planned activity, and free play. The Open HandsPre-School will provide full-time care from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and part-time care from 9 a.m. until noon (not including !unch). Lunch will be provided for an additional charge. Before and after school careis also provided by the Center. Mrs. Cawthon encourages working parents to visit the center at any time during open hoursor to call the Centerat 471-7548 for information. “Working with parents to help them feel comfort- able with the Center, and helping the children feel comfortable is important,’’ said Mrs. Cawthon. ‘‘We want to provide more than the supervision of a babysitter, we want to help the child learn also,”’ she said. : Mrs. Cawthon believes that the concept of day care At Peoples United is still new to families and the community, but in- Methodist Church vites parents to investiate the services provided at Open HandsPre-School.
