Anita Zucker Center for Excellence in Early Childhood Studies (AZ CEECS) members joined families in a southwest community of Gainesville, advocates and area officials on May 25 to break ground on a new CHILD (Children’s Health, Imagination, Learning and Discovery) Center. The CHILD Center is a collaboration between the Southwest Advocacy Group (SWAG), O2B Kids and the AZ CEECS.
The CHILD Center will provide low- or no-cost quality early care and education services to children from low-income families ages 0-5, and their families. Beyond providing high quality early care and learning experiences, the CHILD Center will serve the community as a model demonstration site providing professional development opportunities for child care providers in Alachua County.
The program opened new windows into online teaching and learning in higher education, exposed me to the rich history the military has in distance education and innovation, and gave me a better understanding of the exciting challenges of integrating technology into K-12 educational environments.
The faculty was very supportive throughout the entire program. There was never a time I felt slighted, in the terms of resources and support from the faculty just because I was an online student.
The reputation and preparation at the University of Florida made me competitive among employers compared to other graduates. The diverse faculty interests coupled with opportunities to collaborate with other programs and departments allows graduate students a great deal of flexibility to pursue unique areas of interest.
I’m a proud alumni for life – Go Gators!
