Edison’s Child
Development Center offers afternoon preschool
Edison Community College’s Child Development Center is pleased to
announce that it will now be offering an afternoon preschool session
for children ages 3 to 5. The new offering will be available beginning
September 7, 2015 and will run from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday through
Thursday.
Children will participate in activities that support cognitive,
physical, social, emotional, and creative development. While play is
the primary strategy used, it is planned and each activity has a
purpose. Children are involved in decision-making and problem solving
in a print-rich environment that includes blocks, manipulatives,
computers, dramatic play, and sand/water centers. Books and early
reading and writing activities are also an important part of the
program.
Class planning takes place each week and is linked very closely to the
children’s interests. Areas such as language and literacy, numeracy
skills, science concepts and music and movement are covered during the
week.
Edison’s Child Development Center holds accreditation from the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Additionally,
the Center recently received a Five-Star Step Up To Quality Award from
the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the highest rating in
Miami County.
The Preschool at Edison is lead by director and teacher, Kelli Gerlach.
Her teacher assistants are students currently enrolled in Edison’s
Early Childhood Education program. Parents are important to the program
and their participation and feedback is encouraged.
Those interested in enrolling their children are asked to contact Susie
Staley, Secretary of the Child Development Center by calling
937.778.7984 or emailing sstaley@edisonohio.edu. For more information
