Children Engaged: A Visit to the Pikes Peak Urban League Child Development Center
Smiling faces highlighted by hopeful, enthusiastic eyes helped to communicate the effectiveness of the Urban League Child Development Center run by Mrs. G. (Mildred Galbreath).
The Pikes Peak Urban League Child Development is partnered with Hope On Line Academy to create the educational setting which captures the learning energies of these children who are aged from kindergarten to second grade.
Research demonstrates that the years before the third grade are crucial. With this development center as a staging ground, young minds are being effectively prepared with literacy and mathematical curriculum. This rich curricular content is enhanced by a student-teacher ratio of about one to four. Add to this certified social worker support. With the assistance of a credentialed instructional coach, students have the equivalent of individual learning plans supervised by qualified instructional specialists.
What a wonderfully well executed design --- not only for at risk early learners---- but any early learners.
Hats off to Mrs. G and her children loving staff and the curricular/instructional assistance provided through Hope On Line Academy.
