Description
Up to 90 qualified residents participated each year in this
20-week training program. Training focused on workplace literacy,
study skills, licensing orientation, and computers, as well as
infant health, physical, nutritional and safety needs in a home
care setting. Each participant received college credits and enough
skills to own and operate a home child-care business upon successful
completion of training. If participants were interested, advanced
training was made available through Malcolm X, which included
courses toward an Associate's degree. Classes, which were free
to those who meet eligibility requirements, were held for eight
hours each week. The overall mission of the institute was to provide
community residents with the necessary training to become Early
Head Start Enhanced home day-care providers operating within an
agency network.
