The Adult Learner: Chapter Outlines and Main PointsMike Ramsey
This is a 200 slide presentation outlining the book The Adult Learner by Malcolm Knowles. As you may know this book is some dry reading so I and my peers converted it into a four hour lecture. This was in 2004 and our powerpoint skills were basic. I hope this helps you with some insight into androgogy and the adult learner as well as some insight to the leading minds of the time.

Starting a Non-Profit Daycare Center for Single Parents There .docxdessiechisomjj4
Starting a Non-Profit Daycare Center for Single Parents
There aren’t any affordable daycare centers for single parents.
There aren’t enough affordable daycare centers.
Lets just face it there aren’t enough affordable daycare centers for single parents.
On average daycares in Northern Alabama can cost any where from Average weekly child care rates for full-time enrollees in Alabama’s child care facilities vary from just under $103 for children under 2½ years of age, to $98 for children aged 2½-5 years, to $94 for children of school age. As has been seen in prior survey years, child care costs decline with the age of the child, with weekly rates for children of school age only around 91 percent of those for children under 2½ years of age. (Duke, M.L. & Petee,T 2009)
Many single parents are struggling to put their child/children through daycare, but trying to find the right one that they can afford is very hard.
The average fee for full-time care ranges from approximately $3,900 to $15,000 a year, depending on where the family lives, the type of care, and the age of the child. (Blank, H. & Schulman, K, 2013)
The average salary of a single parent.
Single parents don’t make enough to begin with.
Minium wage begins at 7.25 for single parents and it goes just a little each year.
The average cashier makes about 8.92 an hour. And that’s just not enough to pay for daycare and keep a roof over your family’s head.
It is estimated that low-income families often pay more than 30% of their take-home pay for child care.(http://www.dcvistudios.com/)
The State and Federal Government funds can only pay for a certain number of children and when that maximum is reached a waiting list is formed. The waiting list is updated every 6 months and at the time funds become available people will be notified in the order in which they applied. (http://www.dcvistudios.com/)
Location is everything !
Finding the right location to start a non-profit daycare center starts with knowing your community.
We want to have a safe place where kids parents will not have to worry about while they are working.
We want a daycare center that will have the community’s approval.
We are looking to start a daycare center in a low crime rate communities.
A daycare center where it isn’t a great distance to drive.
Having the right location and building for the daycare centers is an important factor.
How can the community can help.
The community will be a big help in the process of helping the day care center.
We want to get the community involved by volunteering their time with the children.
It will be ran by parents and licensed teachers.
This non profit daycare center will also give back to the community as well.
Having fund raisers and receiving donations from the community would help keep the daycare center running.
Getting some government assistance with some of the expenses of the daycare center.
WHY?
This daycare center will be fun for each and every child that enter.

Ok. So I am already tired of thinking about cuts to CSBG. Trying to predict what is going to happen, trying to sift through all the contradicting information, trying to visualize what this means for my agency and the State of Missouri…but the truth is…I still have a current job to do and right now I need to focus on the Agency’s Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment(CNNA) .
I start county Focus Groups next week to gather more primary data for the development our CCNA report. I modified the Half in Ten poverty quiz and merge it with regional and state data to produce a PowerPoint that can be utilized to start discussions on poverty. I am unaware if you can take it from my FB page or the “SlideShare” web-site and modify it for your own region and state. If you cannot pull the PowerPoint from the web, just email me and I will send a modifiable version. I hope you find it useful.
