Abstract | Committees discussed six educational program options for 4- and 5-year-old children, in terms of curriculum, staff and licensure, cost and school facilities, coordination with existing resources, public opinion, and school-age day care. The curriculum committee developed a set of goals, outlined a program design, and considered the possible advantages and disadvantages of the options. The staff and licensure committee suggested that a "Super Early Childhood License" be developed to better coordinate the numerous licenses now available and new licenses currently being developed, and made recommendations for class size and pupil/teacher ratios. The cost and school facilities committee found that the financial impact of providing additional programming for 4- and 5-year-olds varies with each option and that such children require classrooms somewhat different from elementary school classrooms. The committee on coordination with existing resources discussed diversity of needs and services, differences in urban/rural settings, transportation, out-of-school resources, families with special needs, parental choice, fiscal management, and developmentally appropriate programs. The School-Age Child Care Committee recommended the development of legislation to support a variety of resources to meet the need for high quality supervision of children, and suggested other support services for consideration.
