We are excited to introduce our newest staff member, Danielle Eldon.  Danielle has received her education through the 2 year vocational program at Portsmouth High School.  Her experience includes the two year internship,  two years in formal childcare settings with infants through preschool, and years of babysitting.  She has also received awards in Storytelling and Future Homemakers of America.  We look forward to her bright and energetic personality.  Please introduce yourselves to Danielle when at Stay & Play.

 

As new families are joining our program I wanted to bring up some fun ways for families to be involved.  We always welcome family members to join the children and share a special activity.  Parents can do a story, craft or cooking activity with the children.  Please give staff plenty of notice so they can plan accordingly.  Also, we will be hosting several family events including Spaghetti Supper, Fall Festival, Pancake Breakfast, and several other celebrations. 

 

In addition, we hope to offer some short parenting classes on child development, positive discipline, and fun activities to do with children starting in January.  If there is a topic that you are interested in, please let me know.

 

I wanted to offer the opportunity to start a Parent Board for the program.  Please contact me if you are interested.
