We are happy to announce

that after 2 1/2 years,

we are offering our Babygarten program again!

November dates: 3rd, 19th and 17th

at 10:30 in the Sturtz Room

for babies from birth to 18 months

Babygarten is a program that brings caregivers and babies together for an hour of stimulating experiences 

intended to nurture the bond between caregiver and child, 

and to increase the caregiver's awareness of their child's development. 

Babygarten's primary focus is the healthy development of infants aged 0-18 months old

with an emphasis on language enrichment and pre-literacy skills. 

The program includes nursery rhymes and songs, book sharing, parenting information,

a developmental craft, and a free-play period when babies play and caregivers can talk. 

Space is limited to 12 babies every week so please sign up for the classes

that you are able to attend. We will have a wait list. 

It will run for six weeks at 10:30 in the Sturtz Room. 

Class dates will be: Oct. 20, Nov. 3, 10, 17 and Dec. 1, and 8.
