Back to Basics Child development is more an experience than a course; it reaches far beyond the conventional definition of education to offer a unique gift to both the students and their “guinea pigs. Students involved in child development, which is instructed by Miss Kent, start the class learning important information about vaccines, diet, and behavior and apply their knowledge to pre-school children brought to Masuk by parents. Each child is studied and entertained by a student on a one-to-one basis every day. The child then rotates to a different student but continues to play with the same blocks, puzzles and other amusements found throughout the room. The child development experience is a mutually beneficial one — the child receives the care and the attention he needs and the student gains valuable first-hand experience with the trials and tribulations of the first years of life. Oh, to be young again! The entire class spends a few moments of togetherness around the Christmas Tree. Santa Claus makes a rare appearance at Masuk to personali visit the children.
