To Help The Kiddies

More than 30 women, from play centres and kindergartens throughout the Nelson district, attended a weekend school and workshop at the Mapua School last month. Main object of the school was to bring together women who are working with young children in play centres and kindergartens, to iron out problems encountered and to discuss teaching methods. The programme was a great success. Present was Mrs D. Ward, parent education officer of the Wellington play centres. These pix were taken on the first day of the course when members were holding group discussions.
