It explains learning processes such as exploration, trial and error, pain and pleasure, imitation, participation, and communication.

itself,or the mothers who participate.Older and younger brothers and sisters,friends,neighbors,volunteers may all gain from changesbrought about by the child care center.In someinstances,the neighborhood is brightened up,inspired by the attractiveness of the center,andpride emerges to spark new efforts.Schoolteachers and principals,ministers,and localagencies also grow more helpful,more interestedin children.  \nThis comes from the friendliness of thecenter staff to the whole family and to the neigh-bors.It also comes from the quality of everyaspect of the child care center—-the cheerfulsetting,the good food,the well-organized spacefor activity,the children's progress in learningand self-control,the experience of helping to im-prove the center itself and the neighborhood,theresulting good feelings,and a contagious senseof progress.  \nAt one child care center on a dirt road fullof deep ruts and holes,with some adjacent yardsfull of junk and neighboring houses in a run downcondition,major changes occurred.The city streetdepartment improved the road;the real estateagent repaired and painted nearby houses whileresident owners painted their own;and volun-teers from the police department cleaned up thejunk.Yards bare and full of scraggly weeds wereseeded and made neat.It all takes effort,butthe response releases new energy.  \nThus child care centers have the oppor-tunity of providing massive help for the nation's  \nchildren through contributing to wholesome physi-cal,mental,and social development,and also toan improved environment for the children.Thechild in a good center all day will receive goodfood,exercise,and rest to build a healthy body,as well as assistance in correction of physicalproblems.  \nThrough constant communication withteachers and aides,language is developed,vo-cabulary is enlarged naturally,thought is stim-ulated,and a healthy self-concept evolves.Useof toys and other play and work materials in-volves exercise and development of sensory-motorskills,along with many concepts of color,size,shape,weight,balance,structure,and design.Stories and songs encourage integration of feel-ings,action,and ideas,while developing imagina-tion.  \nSpontaneous play in the housekeepingcorner or with blocks allows the child to play outhis observations of the family and the community.Other children may broaden their ideas and skillsthrough watching and joining in the play.  \nNeither health,nor adequate mental de-velopment,nor constructive social behavior canbe guaranteed for the rest of the child's life if thefollowing years do not also meet his needs ade-quately.But good total development in childhoodcan provide prerequisites for further growth andcan help to prevent the beginnings of retardation,disorganized behavior,early delinquency,andemotional disturbance.  \n# acknowledgments\n\nI owe most to two groups of workers withyoung children:first,my
