Panda cubs with inexperienced mothers are getting lessons in life at a special school in Southwest China.  

Three baby pandas have been living in a kindergarten at the Conservation and Research Center in Sichuan province. It is a departure from the traditional zoo design. Lots of trees have been planted for the cubs to climb and rest on.

They may be only six or seven months old, but they are quick learners. Three in the afternoon is supper time. The caretakers help keep everyone and everything tidy.
