Ordering furnishings & equipment is in progress. Work on the building #2 began in March and has been delayed. No work began on the yard.
Much of the furnishing, equipment, teaching/learning materials, and supplies used in the children’s program were moldy, worn or broken and needed to be replaced. These materials are essential for promoting children’s learning, as well as to demonstrate strategies and methods of teaching to ECE students. The purchasing of these much needed furnishings, materials and equipment are in progress. The play-yard in front of the second building (OCET II) was fenced in 2012. Converting the space to a ‘natural’ outdoor learning environment is the next step. There are many resources on campus and within the community that can be tapped into to bring native plants to the yard, build raised garden beds, construct walkways and wheel toy paths, gathering places, and other areas of interest. A large shade canopy will need to be purchased and installed (planting a shade-tree would be ideal).
