Laurel's Dream ' Children Find Learning Fun At Newly Opened Day Care Center By DAHLIA NEWTON Outside ? s rainy, gray day; but inside, so much is going on that bo one cares. In one part of the room, cooks happily rattle pots and pans. Close by, would be party goers clamor in and out of a closet looking for their favorite dress-up clothes. In a corner, a small milker tends her cow. Chaos? No, just free play time hk full swing at the newly opened Laurel Day Care Center. Not many months ago, the center, located in the Laurel School, was just a dream in the hearts of people in the com munity. Now, thanks to hard work and cooperation g*om several groups, the centera reality. Several children are already enrolled, and even tually, some 25 preschoolers, ages 2-5, will take part in the comprehensive day care program. v The enthusiasm the children put into their play carries over into other phases of the program : ^ 4;-^; .Wtorifci V as well, comments teacher Doris Conner, mother of two and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Ashevile with a degree in early childhood education. Surprisingly enough, one of the first questions of the day is, "When do we brush our teeth?" And when brush-up time comes, the children expend a good deal of energy, according to Betty Jane Cook and Mary Ruth Payne, teacher aides for the 2 and 3-year-olds. Finger painting is another favored activity, notes Anita Shelton and Christine Gosnell, aides for the older children. When weather permits, the youngsters run and play outside as many as two hours a day. To provide energy for all their activities, the children are given two snacks and a hot lunch daily. Meals are prepared by 9cbool lunchroom staff and served to the children in their rooms. If the youngsters run out of steam, and even; if they don't, they rest after lunch, each one on his own cot. On the less active side, story time claims attention. Gathered in age groups, the youngsters sit in child-sized chairs pulled close to their instructors as they listen to stories and tell some of their own as well. Animals are favorite subjects. Here, too, they learn such things as colors, numbers and names for parts of the body. The large rooms, now painted in cheerful shades of yellow, orange and gold, were vacant and in need of repairs not too many weeks ago. They are now used for the benefit of the community's preschoolers largely because a group of people in Laurel were con cerned about the needs of this age group and met to see what could be done. They conducted a survey which shows that around 130 preschoolers live in the area which comprises about a third of the county. Although there ? .? J*->'si.-? ? ?? ? ? ... .*?
