Early Years Programs

Parents and Caregivers of children 0-6 years come in and check out the program. There will be lots of great topics including child development, early literacy, discipline, and stress management just to name a few. The mornings are filled with information about being a parent and it’s a great time to link with other parents.

At our early years programs you can:

• Meet other parents and caregivers
• Learn helpful parenting tips
• Socialize with other adults
• Use the toy and resource lending libraries
