With the present number of 30 children at the school which will increase to 40 in September Mr. Davock said the centre needs about 300 volunteers since each one is required to give only three hours a week. The centre has about 75 right now. ‘‘*We‘re hoping for a big response from that area." Miss Czukar said, "but it is hard to tell right now whether we will or not. So far we feel we haven‘t seen many high school stuâ€" dents because school only recently got out and they probably want some time to themselves before starting anything for the summer." Paul Davock, director of the centre termed the program a success but said the problem which threatened its effecâ€" tiveness at the end of the year is continuing to plague and possibly hinder the success of the summer program. There just aren‘t enough volunteers. Volunteers are an important part of the program at the centre which opened last September. In order for the full time trained personnel to enjoy complete success with the children in the program a ratio of one volunteer for each child is necessary. Gail Czukar, communications coâ€"ordinator for the centre said the summer drop off was expected since many of the volunteers were mothers and wanted to be at home with their children during the summer. Another portion of the volunâ€" teers were university students as well who have left the area. Other than being concerned with the problem of too few volunteers, both Mr. Davock and Miss Czukar were enthuâ€" siastic about the progress the centre has made since its opening in September. Miss Czukar in speaking about the nine full time staff which is being expanded to ten, said they as well as the children had made advances throughout the year. She said, ‘‘The staff has to be given a lot of credit. They worked hard and learned to work at it together." children on University Avenue has just completed its first regular program. o o The centre Miss Czukar said is now looking to the high school students for help. â€" o Death Lack of volunteers could 12 â€" Waterloo Chronicle, Wednesday, July 4, 1973 cripple summer program A.F. and A.M.

Since September there has also been a few physical chanâ€" ges to help accommodate the program at the centre. Mr. Davock said a colour television had been donated on which the children will soon watch Sesame Street as a regular part of their programming in letter and number concept training. Finishing touches were also put on the outdoor play area this spring with the provision of a specially designed climbâ€" ing apparatus. The structure, made of wood and resembling an abstract sculpture has different textures to help the child‘s sensory stimulation. It also is built so children will have the opportunity to plan out motor skills while climbing. When the regular program begins in September, room diâ€" viders will have been provided in the large indoor activity area so that volunteers and staff may work with their child with a minimum of disturbance from activities in other parts of the room. unsuccessful. The summer program for the children started this week. Very little in the uitimate aim of the centre to stimulate the individual growth along developmental lines will change. The emphasis will continue on the individual child throughâ€" out the summer with more outside activities included such as field trips. Mr. Davock said that for the summer the staff had enâ€" visioned a different type of program but found that the reâ€" sponse was going so well to the present one it was decided it would be better just to continue it. The continuation is in keeping with another objective of the centre which is to fit the program to the child, not the child to the program.
