'Are
You Afraid of Mice?'
Sign up now for a
basic computer literacy class for family child care providers
State and other government systems increasingly use the Internet to distribute
provider resources, information and payments! To stay competitive, family
child care providers must become connected to the Internet and develop
their computer skills.
4C wants to help you take the mystery out of the World Wide Web and give
you the tools to bring your business into the 21st century. Learn how to
control your mouse, surf the net and communicate by e-mail in a
two-and-a-half hour session this summer.
Don't get caught in the mouse trap! Register now for one of these
classes:
June 24, 6:30 - 9
p.m., Cincinnati Central Office
July 22, 6:30 - 9
p.m., Cincinnati Central Office
Aug. 17, 6:30 - 9
p.m., Cincinnati Central Office
