Observing the Director on August 9th

On Monday I was able to go in and work side by side with the director of the early childhood departmnent at the local park district. I really liked seeing this aspect of the program. I was able to observe her use her staffing skills, as well as publicity that she does for the park district. She designs the programs for the park district book, and then budgets the results at the end of the classes. I was able to help her budget a couple of these classes. She also explained how she prices the classes and how they pull more children in with on site display posters. She also allowed me to see what she does to get the posters made for upcoming events at the park district. I also was able to see the food delivery system and observe the students at their lunch time.  I have worked the child care center for over 10 years, and have been a center director for 8 of thos years. I did think this was a lot like the child care setting director, except with the planning for the Early Childhood programs for the park district book. Overall, I am very happy with the knowledge I am gaining about the program. Right now the only challange I seem to have with the class is coming up with my thesis statement for my paper.
