Stratford Parents' Place Offers Family, Friends and Neighbors Activity Sessions.

               Family,
Friends and Neighbors Who Care for Young Children

 Stratford
Parents’ Place (SPP) is reaching out to families, friends or neighbors who
provide child care in their homes for young children other than their own.    Many Stratford children in their birth
through preschool years are in the daily care of family, friends, or neighbors
in their homes and Stratford Parents' Place is offering programs and services
for this important group of people through the Family, Friends and Neighbors
Project.

            One component of the Family,
Friends and Neighbors Project is the monthly Provider/Child Activity
session at Stratford Parents’ Place, 719 Birdseye Street, Stratford.  We are pleased to announce that the family
resource center is now offering additional sessions to be held on the first and
third Friday of every month.  Future dates
and topics are:  March 7 – Pretend and Play, March 21 – Learning
through Stories and Play, April 4 – Sensory
Experiences, April 18 – No session due to school vacation, May 2 – Outdoor Fun, and May 16 – Learning through Stories and Play.  The new Friday sessions, Learning through Stories and Play will include a different
children’s book each session with related activities.  All Stratford adults who care for children
other than their own are invited to attend – grandparents too!

SPP,
a cooperative project of Stratford Public Schools, is a family resource center
located at Stratford Academy/Johnson House, 719 Birdseye Street.  All programs and services are for Stratford
residents and are free of charge.  The
United Way of Coastal Fairfield County provides funding for the Family, Friends
and Neighbors Project.
