"A child mis-educated is a child lost."  JFK
"The capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance." Pablo Casals

One hundred years from now - It won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like - BUT the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.

If I am in a position to punish, chances are very good that I am also in a position to teach.  Today I reduce the odds that punishment may be necessary by taking the opportunity to teach. ~Anonymous~

Guidelines for Participation

Do you work in a licensed program with children ages 0-5, kindergarten, before/after school or off-track care?  Are you a licensed day care provider? Do you provide child care in an adult education setting, at a private school site, in a facility where parents are on-site or a co-op?  All of the above qualify you to become a Participant in our Child Development Training Consortium grant. 
Benefits of participation: 
            Tuition Reimbursement
:  If you are not receiving financial aid or your employer or another third party does not pay for your tuition, you can apply for tuition reimbursement at the end of the semester for all classes numbered 50 and above (no work experience or physical education) that you receive a grade of C or better in.  The reimbursement is based on all books being return by Finals week.  Deadline for requesting reimbursement is thirty days following the end of the semester.
           
Book Loan Program:  We have purchased textbooks for loan for most of the Child Development core classes and some of our elective classes. There are some textbooks available for general education classes also.  Books are loaned on a first come, first served basis - your form must be completed in full before textbooks can be borrowed.  Books will only be loaned during hours listed below.

Book Loan Agreement - sample only of the card that everyone will be required to sign to participate in the book lending program

Please do not call the office for availability of books.  Your phone call will not be returned.
