[UMOS Child Center Project. Final Report.]
United Migrant Opportunity Services, Inc., Milwaukee, WI.
This report presents a description and a brief evaluation of the Child Center Project, a bilingual-bicultural early childhood development program designed to prepare preschool Latino children to succeed in school without losing their bilingual-bicultural identity. Funded by the Office of Child Development, the three-year project was initiated in 1972 by the United Migrant Opportunity Services, Inc. (UMOS), a non-profit corporation in the state of Wisconsin. A major goal of UMOS has been to help migrant farm workers who decide to leave the migrant stream and relocate in Wisconsin. The center served approximately fifty 3- to 5-year-olds in each year of operation, and emphasized parent participation and control as well as the presence of male Latino teachers in the classroom. Included in the report are a breakdown of the ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds of the children who participated, educational objectives and the final project evaluation findings. (MS)
