We want to start an Even Start program and have a rather naive question 
about maintaining enrollment in the adult education component.

How can enrollment in the adult education componenet be maintained if 
someparents reach personal goals in less than a year?

The dilemma:  If parents know their families can no longer participate in 
Even Start after they attain personal goals, the parents will slow their 
learning gains so services to their children will continue.  However, if 
children are permitted to continue in the program after parents reach 
goals, lack of space in the child care facility will prevent adding new 
adults and families to the Even Start program.

Thanks fo your help.
