“The
major function of programming is to enhance the children’s
development. Simply stated, this means that the children’s activity
program, when it is carefully designed and carried out as an
integral part of their daily lives, plays an essential role in
providing the kinds of experiences which promote their overall
development. Among the more specific areas of development sup-ported
by good activity program are education, self-expression,
self-esteem, and socialization.”
