EP- Play & Learn

About this event

This fun, play-based series for toddlers, parents, and caregivers provides a setting rich with blocks, puzzles, gross motor toys, books, manipulatives, transportation toys, dramatic play, music, and an art or sensory exploration activity. Families with children ages 1-3 are invited to spend time together, make friends, and talk one-on-one with early childhood and family support specialists. Each week a different specialist will be available to share resources on early literacy, general early child development, speech-language development, nutrition, and music/movement.

Note: While attendance on all dates is highly encouraged, we understand that not all families may be able to make it to each date and invite you to attend the dates that work best for you. Please register for each date you plan to attend.
