Abstract	Focusing on home and family living, this study investigated learning interests of 262 urban mothers with kindergarten children; study methods preferred by these women; the preferred institutional setting for classes (assuming that classes proved to be a preferred method); and the relationships of the above variables to selected life cycle and life style characteristics. These were among the findings and conclusions: (1) the urban mothers showed interest in more dimensions of home and family living than they had studied during the preceding year; (2) they were not being adequately served, if measured by the number who studied compared to the number expressing a learning interest; (3) television is not used enough as a medium of home and family life education; (4) educational methods must be varied if the learning interests of urban mothers of kindergarten children are to be met; (5) the urban mothers clearly differentiate among content areas of interest; (6) content areas and preferred methods influenced learning interests more than age or any of the other personal characteristics.
