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 St. They announced 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 21 — Learning through Stories and Play
April 4 — Sensory Experiences
April 18 — No session due to school vacation
May 2 — Outdoor Fun
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. 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.
