Women's Group

Research shows that one of the most important factors that affects a child’s performance in school is parental involvement.
As most parents are aware, just sending their children to school and looking at their report cards is not enough.
Are you a parent who wants to be involved and participate in the relationship between your child and school? Would you like the opportunity to acquire information that will help your child have a positive school experience? Perhaps you may have some information or ideas that you may wish to share with others. You are welcome join us on Thursday, September 30 at 9:30 am for this information session that will include  tips and ideas on how to help your child succeed in school, home and school relations, homework tips and a question and answer segment facilitated by Shawna Morrissey ,BA, B.Ed.
Childcare and a nutritious snack will be provided. Please call to register: 443-9569

 

 

 Free Beginners Pre-School/Childcare

Free childcare is available on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (when spaces are available) while parents participate in programs, browse the library, utilize the computer or take advantage of a skill development session (by appointment only.)
We offer two child development rooms; one room is for children age 6 months to 24 months, the other is for children 24 months and up providing they have not started school. Parents must remain on-site at all times with the exception of the monthly Parent Time Out Program.
