CHILD DEVELOPMENT Learning to get along with children their own age in a situation away from home prepares the four-year-olds in Child Development classes for their future school years. In the pre-kindergarten playroom is found the most modern equipment available for children with various personalities. Working with the children are students of the psychology class. Conferences enable parents to understand their children and to reinforce their parent- child relationships. HOME AND FAMILY LIVING Correlated with the Nursing program is the course in Home and Family Living. Education for family and group living has become an important role in a nurse's training. It is necessary for her to understand the rela- tionships that are found in the family so that she can meet patients' needs more effectively. Mr. Rocke watches as these boys exhibit their techniques of building with blocks. Home and Family Living students prepare decorated trays for hospitalized children with the aid of Mrs. Deabler.
