Kindy Teachers Become Kindy Pupils

To give kindergarten teachers and play centre mothers a more complete understanding of their charges, and to help them in their supervision of the children, a seminar arranged by the Adult Education Department was held at the Appleby school last month. Play centre mothers from as far afield as Takaka and Murchison took part in the workshop course, the first of its kind in Nelson.
