Head Start MissionHead Start serves the child development needs of preschool children (birth through age five) and their low-income families.

We Have Learned Through ServiceThe most successful of my service was when I read. This helped me learn the way we need to help young children and why we need to read to children. Jordan Griffen

We Have Learned Through Service The reading was most successful because the kids started reading to us. I understand why some kids do what they do. They dont always do things just to annoy you.Matt Jarvi

We Have Learned Through ServiceIt helped me to get close to my goal to becoming a child psychologist. I now can be more patience with kids then I could before. I have more patience with my peers, brothers, sisters, and parents. Corinne Eure

We Have Learned Through ServiceI do not believe I am a different person because of this experience; I believe Im a better version of myself, because I have found new ways to help even more people than before TeErra Johnson

Enduring UnderstandingsPrenatal care has a huge impact on the development of a baby.Optimal prenatal care begins with lifestyle choices many years before conception.Prior to birth, a baby is developing physically and intellectually, and is affected by conditions in the womb environment.

We Have Learned Through Service The community needs more good role models for kids and I believe by visiting the daycare centers I accomplished that. I am more tolerant of the childrens rowdy behavior now that I have visited these centers. I appreciate their nuances and their excitement about learning new things more. I have learned so much about prenatal care that I will take all of this with me when I have children. Gwen Ferrand

Unit ThreeThe fathers health and lifestyle also impact the developing baby.

Enduring UnderstandingsThe teen years are not optimal for the growth and care of the baby.Parenthood involves many various commitments, including a financial commitment.While it is worth it, the financial commitment requires planning.

Enduring UnderstandingsDecision making skills are necessary regarding the use of many technologies during pregnancy.

Planning for PregnancyIts never too early, but can be too late!

Although you should start planning for a baby, starting as young as possible, doesnt mean it is best to have a baby at anytime.Your body isnt best fit to carry a child during teen years and also when you turn 40 and older.You should be financially secure. According to my experiment a baby can cost about $4,000 per year, this is not including child care.Being emotionally secure is also important, you have to devote your time to a baby constantly, and you have somebody else who depends on you.When finished, click mouse to continue.

The males sperm stays inside of his body for up the three months.If the male does drugs or alcohol, the sperm may become damaged, also some drugs may prevent the father-to-be from producing as much sperm as usual, possibly making it harder to fertilize the egg, but dont forget, it only takes 1.So before trying to conceive a child, the father-to-be should stay away from harmful substances for ATLEAST three months, remember longer is better.And Everyone remember, no smoking around the mother-to-be. Second hand smoke can be harmful to the baby, as well as the mother.When finished, click mouse to continue.

Did you know that what you eat before you even begin to think of conceiving a child, may affect your future baby?Remember ladies, all of the eggs you will ever have are already in your body while youre still in your mothers uterus, so whatever you do that affects your body good or bad, may also affect your eggs as well. Likewise whatever your mother did while she was pregnant with you may have affected your eggs then, rather good or bad.Folic acid is an essential part in your daily diet, to best ensure a healthy baby, you should eat at least one serving of a folic acid per day, its never to early to start.Dairy products are also extremely important. You should intake at least 3 servings per day.Remember to follow your food guide pyramid, and a different food guide pyramid should be used for pregnant women.

When finished, click mouse to continue.

Put all the facts together, is smoking good for you health? NO! Then how can it be good for your baby?Smoking while pregnant may cause miscarriage or still birth.Asthma or other respiratory problems are possible.Your baby may die from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). This illness causes a baby who seems healthy to die with no warning.It could result in learning or behavior problems in later childhood.Your baby may be born too soon or too small, and babies born too small may have breathing or other health problems.

We Have Learned Through ServiceBeing a positive role model to the children and showing them that reading is fun was one benefit served by my service.

ObjectivesDemonstrate positive interaction with childrenDemonstrate work place skills, including reading to childrenDemonstrate effective reading skills using childrens literatureEvaluate the quality of a preschool program

We Have Learned Through ServiceI have learned that a child gets so much out of just talking with them. One of the children I was grouped with was a girl who did not speak English. I helped her relate my frog puppet to the English and also the Portuguese word for it. Through this I noticed the importance of interaction and pictures, and props in teaching a child. More than that, it emotionally enriched me. Keli Berkman

We Have Learned Through ServiceThe most successful part of my service was the positive interaction with the children, and helping to develop and understand their social / emotional development. It opened my eyes to the different feelings and actions of different children. These experiences taught me how to cope with those certain feelings and frustrations. Latisha Jeffress

Enduring UnderstandingsThe better we understand the physical needs of preschoolers, the better equipped we are to meet them.Preschoolers think differently than do adolescents and adults. Understanding how they think, and why helps you respond appropriately to their intellectual needs. It is crucial to the emotional health of individual that while he or she was a preschooler he or she was treated in an emotionally healthy manner

Presenting: Student Power Point Projects

Inside the mind and body of a preschooler

Preschoolers Physical DevelopmentLots of sleep and nutrition is needed for the proper growth to develop.Common health problems consist of ear infections ( caused by growing ear tubes ), the common cold, stomach aches, and head aches.Most preschoolers enjoy growing, they might say something like I can do it because Im a big boy/girl.At an early age preschoolers show signs of being right or left handed.

Preschoolers Emotional/Social Development Praising your preschooler is very important at this age, they are still extremely dependant on their authority figures to become confident in their self worth.Have very strong emotions, but they may only last for a very short time.At this age they start to play with other children their age not just around them or beside them.

Preschoolers Intellectual/Cognitive Development Most children act like or mimic their parents at this stage. So setting a good example is vital for their development.A preschooler might ask lots of questions, but that is just their way of learning.During the preschool age most children start developing their counting skills and can understand shapes, relative size, and spatial relationships.

A Preschooler, ( age 3-5 ), can enjoy the process of growing, but it can overwhelm them with changes. They need lots of help from their parents, who help them discover their self worth. Certain skills develop at different times and sometimes in different orders. They may be a little shy to be around other children their age at first, if they haven't been around other children a lot, but they just need to get used to the people their size.

We Have Learned Through ServiceI learned how to handle kids! Andrea Hankerson

We Have Learned Through ServiceI really enjoyed being with the children. I feel my interaction with the children made a good day better for them. Doing this community service reaffirmed my desire to be an elementary school teacher. Erin Conway

We Have Learned Through ServiceBy talking and interacting with the children at the preschool, they benefited by knowing that someone cares and to help them with whatever was the matter with them that day. I liked seeing the kids smile, when a minute ago they were frowning. It showed me that even in the littlest way you can help or make someones day better. Carissa Scaniffe
