The Future STARCHILD Ravenna??
Quiet neighborhood, adjacent to Ravenna City Park, was a kindergarten school.
Ideal for creating a model, intergenerational childcare/child development and lifelong learning center in the Ravenna area. Imagine a “gold star”-rated facility with well-qualified staff, senior citizens (“Golden Treasures”), and university students interacting with children from infancy through age 15. Featuring:
* Innovative curriculum with developmentally appropriate activities including expressive arts (art, music, drama), fun with language arts, science exploration, nature study, movement to promote healthy physical, cognitive, and emotional development, stress reduction techniques, and creative play in a nurturing environment
* Nutritious meals and snacks
* Availability of outdoor space to provide fresh air, sunshine, interaction with nature, and play so essential to healthy growth and development
* Educational sessions for parents
DID YOU KNOW?
More than 80% of brain development occurs after a baby is born and 90% of that growth happens by the age of 5. STARCHILD Ravenna will provide a solid foundation for these children’s well-being and future success in their lives, including being ready for learning when they start school.
Other anticipated benefits:
- Parents able to engage in training and employment, knowing their children are being well-taken care of
- Job creation, economic support of local merchants and services, professional development opportunities, local employment tax revenue, and increasing attractiveness of Ravenna for potential businesses and residents.
- Collaboration with other resources in the Ravenna area to support a thriving community
- Serve as a milestone in our continuing efforts to develop The STAR Institute, which will include another model intergenerational childcare/child development and lifelong learning center in the Kent area of the County.
