UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION TO OFFER WEEKEND CLASS IN EDUCATION

The University of Missouri Extension is offering a weekend college class in education at the Perryville Extension Center beginning Jan. 15.

The class will fill on a first-come, first-served basis with a minimum of 20 students. The classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 15 and 29, Feb. 12 and 26, and March 12 and 26.

The course will focus on the development and practical application of curriculum and activities for children from birth to five years old in child care settings, and for children 6-10 years in after-school programs.

The course would qualify for contact training hours required for licensed day care providers, and also counts toward three hours of college credit.

The cost of the class is $273 plus the cost of the textbook. The registration deadline is Dec. 1.

Barbara Hammerli, an instructor at the University of Missouri, will teach the course. She has been a teacher in part-day and full-day child care and also has been a director of a large child-care program.
