I'm sending out a reminder about our* upcoming class on Caring for
Your Challenging Child. This is a one-time opportunity to take this
class for a greatly reduced price (the 10-session workshop costs a
total of $50, whereas the usual cost is $750.)

Please help us spread the word to families and caregivers.

Offering the class at this price is contingent on enrollment. If you
plan to attend, please send me a quick note to let me know you plan to
register ASAP. Final registration is due February 15th, 2011.

Caregivers, please note that we have been able to arrange approval
from the Maryland State Dept. of Education's Office of Child Care this
to issue training certificates to providers who participate in this
training. We are very grateful to Bowie Childcare for helping us with
this process.
