Exeter nursery reviews year
Parents in the Sunshine
Kids Inc. nursery school in
Exeter recently completed° a
survey of their members
opinions and suggestions on
the school.
Since the nursery is a co-
operative school, the parents
are responsible for the ad-.
ministration of it. They found
accommodation, got it
licensed by the Ministry of
Communication and Social
Services, then hired a
teacher, bought equipment,
set up budgets and decided on
fees.
Each participating family
is expected to send a parent
along to the monthly
meetings and to specific
morning sessions so that
there are two' parents and a
teacher supervising the
children each day.
On reviewing the year's
progress, the majority of
parents felt that the school
had provided an enjoyable
and useful experience for
both the children and the
parents. It was frequently
expressed that the school had
a good varietyof equipment
and program activities for
the children The purchase of
some new equipment this
year, such as a large type
jumping toy and setting up of
a library corner would fur-
ther improve this.
Parents indicated that
children enjoyed the' field
trips and there were
suggestions for future ,ones.
This year the school visited
places like the fire hall, the
police station and the turkey
farm. The trips helped to
comPensate for the lack of an
outside playground.
The school is held in the
primary room of the Exeter
United Church and many
parents expr ssed their
appreciation ofhe use of the
lovely big room.
In conclusion the parents
indicated they felt the co-
operativ4.' nursery to be a
worthwhile project and a
good opportunity to par-
ticipate in the ' children's
early education.
Registrations are presently
being accepted for next year
Goderich Twp. wolf not rabid
Area residents have no
need to fear the possibilities
of rabid wolves in Goderich
Township.
The question arose .after
Joe Storey and his son Jim of
RR3, •Clinton 'recently shot a'.,,.
wolf on the Bayfield Line. The
wolf had been chasing a dog
owned by Dale Sterling and
then ran towards the men
when shots were fired.
On the third shot J oe Storey
killed the animal and its brain
was sent to Toronto for rabies
tests. Last week the results
•came back and' the wolf did
not have the virus infection.
Jim Storey pointed out that
a wolf will attack a person
even if it doesn't have rabies.
He noted that it is a
misconception that wolves
only attack when they are
rabid. He said that the wolf
