Happy 90th Birthday! Love your family OPEN HOUSE St. Albans Church Hall Glen Williams Sat. May 24, 2008 1:30 - 4 pm Best wishes only HAPPY 90TH! Ruth Tate (nee Marchment) Happy Birthday #11 Zack Love, Mom and Dad Acton/Georgetown, Friday, May 23, 2008 9 Since its launch just a few short years ago, hundreds of local young- sters have benefited from a program that ensures a high level of quality care and education for Haltons chil- dren. The success of the Quality First initiative was celebrated by early childhood educators (ECE) from across the region recently at a con- ference at the Halton Regional Centre in Oakville. Halton Director of Childrens Services Mary Beth Jonz told the ECEs in attendance that almost 2,000 childrens lives have been touched by the program, which was launched in 2005. You have all accomplished so much in such a short time, she said. The momentum is growing the Halton child care providers are com- mitted to this community-driven approach to quality child care. Quality First offers a continuum of quality improvement processes and tools for childrens programs in Halton. Those who participate in the program learn new skills on things like curriculum, adult-child interac- tions and administration/supervi- sion. One of the goals of Quality First is to enhance childrens experience in quality childcare to ensure suc- cess both now and in the future, which in turn will help in their school years and into adulthood, Jonz said. Quality First is doing this through a clear program and early learning standards that are play- based, holistic and developmentally appropriate. She added that Quality First is helping ECEs build their knowledge base and expand on their positive interactions with children. There are more than 200 child- care professionals and 63 childcare centres across the region taking part in the program, such as Future Scholars Daycare in Georgetown. Sally DaSilva, a team leader at Future Scholars, attested to the ben- efits of Quality First. It taught me to come up with new challenges for the kids, she said, noting after being in the early childhood education field for seven years, its easy to get into a rut. It (Quality First) gets you thinking. For Tola Gbenga-Alade, the direc- tor of Oakleaf Christian Junior School in Oakville, the program has helped re-energize her staff, partic- ularly those whove been ECEs for a long time. Its really helped my staff a lot, and the parents like that were doing something, she said. Jonz said she hopes once parents learn about Quality First theyll start to ask for it by name, making more childcare centres across the region want to take part. Quality First is managed by the Halton Resource Connection, with support from the ECE community. It evolved in response to the Halton early childhood education communitys recognition of the need to develop and support a high level of quality care and education for young children and their families.
