Abstract	The Regional Training and Resource Centre (RTRC) is a 5-year program that began in 1989. A consultative group to the program consists of members from the countries of Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Zambia, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Kenya. The functions of the RTRC are to: (1) disseminate information concerning projects supported by the Bernard van Leer Foundation; (2) identify local educational training needs; (3) build the capacity of trainers; (4) develop advocacy skills; (5) develop curricula in early childhood development; and (6) provide advisory services. This document reports on the first of a series of RTRC workshops on the training of trainers of young children, which was held in Harare, Zimbabwe. The bulk of the report summarizes the topics discussed, which were: (1) needs of young children; (2) children with special needs; (3) identification of children's talents; (4) early stimulation, preschool curriculum, toys, and learning materials; (5) training for children's needs; (6) the environment of the African child; (7) community involvement and parental education; and (8) assessing and planning for children's needs. Appended materials include a list of workshop participants and the workshop schedule. (BC)
