to continue to mix the Head Start children with the other children at the center. “Children learn so much from each other,” she said.
If the Head Start grant comes through, with the likelihood that the program could continue in future years, Mrs. Sharp plans to divide the three and four-year old group into two classes and add an additional classroom as an upstairs room in the area that is now the commons area with the vaulted ceiling.
Mrs. Sharp said that one of her concerns about the state-funded pilot program is that the patrons of CCLC realize that the grant money pays only for the additional program and does not eliminate the need for continued support from the community. About 18 percent of the centers budget has been coming from fund-raisers and donations from friends of the center. CCLC will continue to need this money, she said.
Also, the CCLC director added, the school will continue to need scholarship help for children too young to be a part of the grant programs and, in the summer, for some who are too old. Also there will continue to be children whose family income does not qualify them for the programs funded by these grants but does not provide enough to afford the full cost of day care, she said.
