Kftt’derheim 
 
 The CMd Department of a 
 Home-Making School 
 
T HE Kinderheim is a residence 
 where educated young women 
 and little children live together in a 
 homelike relationship; the children 
 because they are poor and homeless 
 and need to be cared for and happily 
 occupied; the young woman because 
 they wish to learn in this natural way 
 the intelligent care and occupation of 
 young children. 
 
 Provision is made for about five 
 resident children of nursery age, also 
 for a limited number of resident and 
 non-resident adult students. 
 
 A short course in the scientific care 
 and educational occupation of young 
 children will be given under the di- 
 rection of Miss Elizabeth Jenkins, 
 formerly principal of the Kindergar- 
 ten Training College, Sydney, Aus- 
 tralia, assisted by a trained nurse, 
 both of whom are in residence at the 
 Kinderheim. 
 
The training is planned primarily 
 as a part of a Homemaking Course, 
 but is a natural introduction to other 
 non-professional work with little 
 children, as well as to the professions 
 of trained nurse, kindergartener, 
 playground and social worker.
