Community Child Development Center Proposal
There is a 90 - 100% chance of developmental delays in children when faced with about
six to seven outside risk factors. Some factors that have a cumulative impact may include
poverty, child maltreatment, low maternal education, and/or single parenting. With these factors
a child’s cognitive, language, or emotional development can be altered (Center on the
Developing Child Harvard University para 3). Child development is something that is influenced
by many contributing factors, that include parenting and schooling. Some families choose to
home school their children and other do not because both believe the one they have chosen is
best for their child. In schools, whether they are at home or on a campus, different activities
taught at specific ages can help the child’s development. I ask you to consider my proposal based
on my expert opinion on the activities I will present in different rooms based on the child’s age.
My goal is to present activities such as listening to music, finger painting, cup phones, building
historic representations like missions, and preparing science projects in a way that shows their
inherent benefits towards successful childhood development.
ROOM #1 – Infant Room
Paragraph 1.This is where you will identify and explain your first scheduled class or activity
Listen to appropriate music
Music helps infants relax and focus on listening to words that they will eventually have to
hear/understand from their parents.
When the parent holds the baby on her chest while listening to music, the baby slowly by
slowly gets to learn listening skills and also strengthens its bonding with the parent
Paragraph 2.This is where you will identify and explain your second scheduled class or
activity

Provide a brief conclusion to your paper.
In conclusion, the parents and teachers, therefore, should take good care of their children
in realizing their development. They should employ activities that are aimed at developing the
kids physically, mentally and even socially so that they can be able to interact with what they
encounter intelligently. Developing into a healthy adult requires the successful completion of all
the stages. This means that a lot of care has to be taken to ensure no stage is assumed. Taking a
good account of all these will result in well developed children in society.
