The Douglas College Early Childhood
Education Society wishes to announce
the fall opening of the Early Child-
hood Education Centre and Demonstra-
tion Lab (Room 2814) on Tuesday,

the children and their families
during the week of August 27. There
are still some spaces available for
the fall semester.

months old*

We are pleased to introduce our new
and returning staff members. Marlene
Edwards (Supervisor), who has been
with the Centre since its opening in
March, returns after the summer clo-
sure. She received her Certificate
in Early Childhood Education from
Douglas College in May 1983. She is
now working to complete the E.C.E.
Post Basic Infant Specialty. Marlene
is married and has two teenagers -
a boy fifteen years old and a girl
seventeen years old.

Leila Denton joins the Centre Staff
as Senior Supervisor. She is famil-
iar to the day care community in
Coquitlam, where for many years she
successfully operated a family/group
day care centre in her home. Now
that her own family (ages 18, 21,
and 23) have completed their

 

educations, Leila expressed the de-
sire to undertake a new professional
challenge.

leila is a graduate of the Douglas
College Early Childhood Education 1
Program and she plans to complete
her final course in the Post Basic
Infant Specialty this fall. Her
previous experience as a practicum
supervisor for the Douglas College
E.C.E. Program will be beneficial
to her in her new position with the
E.C.E. Demonstration Lab.

Our Assistant Supervisor, Michael
Landau, is a recent graduate of the
Douglas College Early Childhood Edu-
cation Program. Michael's work with
children stems from his interest in
the humanities during his high
school years. Throughout the last
ten years Michael has been involved
with programs for people ranging in
age from pre-schoolers to senior
citizens. While striving for the
fullest potential in human growth
and development, he has become
committed to a holistic approach to
living.

For further information regarding
day care for the fall, please con-
tact the staff at local 2814.
