The Week of the Young Child is April fourth through the tenth. The students plan to take one group of children on an Easter egg hunt, play games and furnish refreshments. Ano ther group will be taken on a field day. The Early Childhood Spe cialist Class is studying and learning to provide the services and fulfill the needs of the young child. The needs and services are many and varied, and the student learns in both the classroom and in the field. It is an interesting and challenging program to those who apply themselves diligently and wish to prepare for a worthy and rewarding career. The Week of the Young Child is a time to emphasize the rights, needs, and well being of all young children. We wish to join with those who work with young children in an effort to provide information about the nature of, and need for, quality services for children. By birth, every child in the nation has a right to; (1) Protection from physi cal and psychological dan gers. (2) Security provided by adults who care for him. (3) Support and nurtur ance from a stable home and other agencies of a concerned society. The needs of a young child are, to play and live in places that are safe and healthy; to acquire knowledge and skills in order to become a competent person; and to develop positive attitudes about himself and others. If you are interested in the children of your community, find out what services exist. Ask about children near you, who may need services of some type. Are the needs of ALL children being met?
