Career Center Early Childhood Program Builds Partnerships Early Childhood Education along with Child Development has collaborated with F1S’ Woods Road Child Development Center and RN Beck Child Development Center to allow our students who are in the internship phase of the program to complete their hours at the two Child Development sites. Ms. Burns and Dr. Creech have collaborated along with the School Foundation to build an Early Childhood Program that is able to provide the hours needed for our Florence Career Center students. Ms. Carpenter, the Director of the Florence Career Center stated, "We are fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with the two Child Development Centers in F1S. The R N Beck CDC and Woods Road CDC will provide the hands on experience our students need to help them be successful in their future endeavors in the field of Early Childhood Education". Thanks to Dr Creech for the opportunity. Ms. Burns plans on starting the Montessori Certification next school year. This was a recommendation from the Advisory Committee member, Dr. Creech. This collaboration has been a long time coming and it was with the help of Dr. Creech in creating the classroom environment at Florence Career Center. Ms. Burns has worked long and hard with the Advisory Committee to develop this program to this point. In the near future, she would like to have a Child Development on-site at Florence Career Center. Ms. Burns states, “it would be an awesome opportunity for staff on campus who have preschool children and need childcare. Students would be able to do their internships on our campus”.
