A child’s early educational experience, from birth, is very beneficial in the process of transitioning from an early childhood program or from their own home setting into kindergarten. Parents are their child's first teacher. The program works with families during this very important and exciting time by offering materials, such as the Infant/Toddler Activity Calendar or Kindergarten Calendar or DVD, resources, and early learning opportunities to prepare a child for success in school and life.
We invite you to join the program. For more information on the program, and/or to receive free educational childhood materials and resources, please contact Tammy Barnhart, Program Coordinator, at 717-263-6549 or 1-800-682-5702.
