“I did a series of classes in psychology (at the institute), .. The students that came to that class had children. And over a period of a few years, they decided they wanted a nursery school, a play group (to watch over their children while they were studying).

That eventually led to building a state-licensed nursery school, which was approved by the California department of social welfare.”
