- Description:
- The following proposal entitled Northwest Perry Child Development CenterIs submitted to the United States Office of Health, Education, and Welfare, office of Economic Opportunity. The project has been designed for a one year period, under the direction of Mrs. Odinga Dalrobl, This project is requesting funds in the amount of $11,900.00. There will be eleven pro�fessional full-time staff members, three part-time professional and eleven non-professionals. The project will run from Sep�tember 1, 1969 to August 31. 1970.The proposed child Development Center will meet an acute need for day care in the Northwest Perry area in Atlanta, Georgia where no child care facility exists for low-income families. The center would serve fifty children from three to twelve years of age, freeing low-income mothers and fathers for the employ�ment market, between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 12:00 midnight.There have been several attempts of welfare recipients and other low-income families to become self-sufficient through employment. Because they are unskilled, many are participating in re-training programs. Others must take jobs at night. What happens to their children during these hours or after they are dismissed from school? This project is worthy of support, because, children will receive the educational, social, and emotional attention due them through knowledgeable, and skilled professional workers. Children of school age will be able to receive free tutoring services in areas where educational weaknesses have been de�tected. This service will be provided by volunteer students and graduates from the Atlanta University Center. Child care which affords maximum opportunity to grow and develop, provides planned and well prepared meals, and assures exceptional physical care of children is the first priority of service given by the child development center, which is here proposed.
