Child Care Services is a laboratory-type occupational training program for advanced Home Economics students. Participants learn about the types of jobs involving child care and development, the scope and nature of such jobs, and responsibilities assumed by teacher aides. Experience is gained through student observation, participation in supervising and assisting children with personal habits and with creative play activities, and creating and conducting activities which promote social, mental, and physical growth of children. Some of the specific activities done were the making of toys, games, bulletin boards, and Christmas crafts, preparing children for lunch and naps, conducting playground activities, reading stories, doing clerical work, changing diapers, and rocking and burping the babies.

Students Gain Experience Assisting Teachers Begun last year on an experimental basis, a program was expanded this year in which students assist teachers in grades K-12. At the beginning of the year the students and teachers fill out a contract specifying the various duties to be performed by the students. Upon satisfac- tory completion of this contract, students receive a unit of credit. More important, the students learn about working with children and gain a better understanding of some of a teacher's responsibilities. fi! wal
