Leaving a child alone at hom
can place him in a distressing
situation. A ccidental hazards
and the possibility of strangers
entering the hom are all part of
the horrors a “latchkey” child
can encounter.
THERE IS a solution to this

evelopm ent Services has a
school-age/latchkey child care
program. It services the un-

conducted at uncan Elem en-

“The program lends em otion-
al support to the child” Helen
Nelson child care giver super-
visor said. “I was told that the
program here is a model prog-
ram .” According to Nelson the
ro ram is rk in ell at
uncan. “The children enjoy
participating and the parents
are pleased” Nelson said.
Nelson believes that there are
a number of other children who
are not getting the care they
need. “I wish that it serviced
other schools” she said “but
that option isn ’t available. It

“During the first year of the
