Toddler Time |
|
Toddler Time is held every Thursday, at 11:15am, at the Vermontville First Congregational Church, and typically runs 40-50 minutes. The programs are run entirely by volunteers of Eaton ISD (Intermediate School District), and focus on pre-literacy, school preparedness and just plain old fun. Toddler Time activities typically consist of story time, dancing, singing, ABC’s, 123’s, a craft project and occasionally unique guest speakers. Once a month Toddler Time hosts a “Ready To Learn” event where each child receives a free book to take home (typically the 2nd or 3rd Thursday of the month). The program is specifically geared for children ages 0-5, but children of all ages are welcome. If you or anyone you know would like to be a reader or sponsor a craft project at Toddler Time, please contact Amy at 269-948-3732 . In cases of inclement weather, Toddler Time is canceled if Maple Valley Schools are closed.
