A couple of my classmates from another class informed me that they will probably have to start taking night classes. I asked them why? They brought to my attention that kids who are under the age of five will not have an early learning center to attend. Do to the state’s budget cut; they are looking for ways to save money! Not realizing this also affects me, my two younger children are attending a Head Start Program, which will no longer be available. This is really upsetting due to the fact that children are learning very young in these programs. Izzy my middle child is only four years old and he already know how to write his name, colors inside the lines, knows his ABC’s. Not just the song but he recognizes the actual letters. Best of all they are learning how to interact with other children. Gizzelle my baby is two years old and she understands that sharing is caring! She can also recognize the letters in her name when she sees a G, she says mom that’s my name! I say no, but your name starts with a G. The Head Start, Bright Futures, Early Learning programs help children get a head start on early learning. Not to mention when these kids are in school most parents are either at work or school themselves! There is an option to send your child to a babysitter, but would you want your child to sit in front of a television all day? Know days in order for a family to get by living comfortably both parents have to work outside of the home. Oh, did I mention there will be no Prekindergarten either .Sonya who is a teacher’s aid for an early learning center attended the board meeting said that they want to do away with kindergarten as well. What the hell, are they going to get rid of next? Unfortunately Sonya long with hundreds of other teacher and teacher’s aids will no longer have a job at the end of this school year! So this will make the unemployment go up! I guess if I have to, I will take night classes. But I tried that once and I didn’t do so hot, never had time to go to the help labs!
