Abstract | This report discusses the Lafayette Parish Early Childhood Project which was designed to meet the educational needs of four-year-old children with developmental lags who had not been accepted to the local Head Start program. The evaluation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the preschool project in terms of: (1) students' improvement in physical, social and emotional, and readiness skills; (2) parental involvement; and (3) cost effectiveness. Also investigated were the performance of students previously enrolled in the project, and the impact of the parent education component on younger siblings of present preschool project participants. The project involved 2 certified teachers and 1 teacher assistant who provided individualized instruction to 31 preschool students in 2 local elementary schools (J. W. Faulk Elementary School and Vermilion Elementary School) during the 1987-1988 school year. The project was judged to be effective in terms of students' academic achievement, parental involvement in the program and subsequent impact on the students' siblings, and cost effectiveness. Seven recommendations concerning the project conclude the evaluation. Documentation includes letters, agendas, budget reports, schedules, forms, progress charts and reports, and parent and child activities calendars. (RJC) |
