for "grown-ups" offer information, advice, a chance to meet others and
make friends, as well as, a break from the kids! The age group of
the children that is covered in the course material is indicated beside
the program name.

activities. A fully equipped nursery offers tender, loving care for
infants and toddlers under two years of age.
