A program was developed at a local college to provide directors of child care centers, Head Start programs, nursery schools, and school-based early childhood programs with formal training in administration, supervision, and program development to help them better manage their programs. The program was the result of a collaborative effort by directors, college faculty and administrators, and other early childhood professionals in the community, assisted by corporate funding. After the program was in place, a survey of directors indicated that many who had previously felt no such training was available felt the program could provide them with effective formal training in areas of concern to them. Twenty-eight of the 260 directors surveyed decided to participate in the training program. A copy of the survey is appended. Contains 30 references. (MDM)
