Forsyth Tech opens onsite child care program for training SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Forsyth Tech has opened an Early Childhood LAB School at 2410 Oak Grove Center on the col lege's main campus in Winston-Salem that is designed to provide Early Childhood Education stu dents with onsite super vised, hands-on teaching experience and instruction. The program is open to Forsyth Tech faculty and students as well as the gen eral public and is now accepting applications. I The LAB school has been created for children ages 3 to 5 with a maxi mum capacity of 15 chil dren. The half-day program runs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, giving children up to four hours of participation in an enriching and well-planned environment. The best practices program is designed to stimulate growth and development, meeting the individual needs of each child. The daily curriculum includes indoor and outdoor activi ties, art, music, math, sci ence, language and literacy, dramatic play, gross and fine motor coordination, and technology. Nutritious snacks are also provided. There is a one-time regis tration fee of $75 and tuition is $300 per month per child. "We are so excited about the opening of our Early Childhood LAB school - our vision for this teaching facility has been 15 years in the making," says Karatha Scott, the lab school coordinator. "This program is vital to the training of our early child hood education students, and provides them with the same level of expert train ing, instruction and super vision that's available at four-year institutions. It represents an investment in the future as most of our students will get jobs right here in our local communi ty after they graduate." Forsyth Tech Early Childhood Education interns are carefully super vised and coached by certi fied teachers who possess strong backgrounds in early childhood education and who mentor the stu dents in how to administer quality, nurturing care in an environment that is devel opmentally appropriate, stimulating and comfort able. Parents are welcome to interact with their children via the Observation Room or Parent-Resource Corner, which is stocked with age appropriate books, games, technology, book packs and other academic materials that are available for par ents to check out. The Parent-Resource Corner was created through a $23,000 grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation and is designed to develop literacy path ways with innovative school-to-home and home to-school learning options for parents and their chil dren. The LAB school sched ule will align with Forsyth Tech's academic calendar year schedule.
