WE Is Here

No, it's not bad grammar. It's a
magazine.
WE is a new publication for per-
sons with disabilities. Among the
stories in the first issue: a profile
of Elizabeth Taylor, popular rock
artists with disabilities and new
developments on the medical
front.

magine this: You can be at
work, and your daughter can be
in day care, and still you can
see her first step.
How does it work?
It's called the Kindercam, and it
uses cameras and the Internet to
help parents check up on their chil-
dren at any time.
Kindercam is now being tested
at day-care centers across the
country, including Kids R Kids
Quality Learning Center in
Marietta, GA.
"I've got grandparents in Israel,

divorced parents living in other
states and parents who are just
across town all watching their chil-
dren," Kids R Kids owner Harry
Fraley told BabyTalk magazine.
Parents pay $20 a month to the
day-care center, log on to the
Internet, then type in a password
which allows them immediate
access to their children.
More than 2,000 day-care facili-
ties plan to have Kindercam in use
by the end of the year. For more
information, contact Kindercam at
1-888-KCAM-123.
