The Alaska Model for Early Childhood Education is an attempt to bring major ideas into focus for neighborhood programs. Suggested specifications for staff, facilities, equipment, activities, and parent involvement are presented. Sections deal with: (1) needs, objectives and activities; (2) child development activities and environments--physical environments (interest areas) and social environments; (3) community implementation strategies involving personnel and staff development, parent responsibilities and agency support services; and (4) evaluation. An equipment list is provided as an appendix. (KM)
