The field of child development is growing, and the innovative Project TRACK is here to make sure Valley students grow along with it.
"There's a whole new direction that child development is going in, a more professional one," said Project Coordinator Marni Roosevelt. "Ultimately the teachers will be required to have bachelor's degrees. Research shows it's important that kids are taught by people with more education [themselves]."
TRACK, which stands for "Teaching Resources And Community Knowledge," is a pilot project funded by Proposition 10 to address the educational needs of children in their earliest years.
