'Grow With Me' sessions to start May 2 at Derby Public Library

DERBY - The Derby Public Library will introduce a four-week session of Family Place -1, 2, 3… Grow With Me beginning at 10 a.m. May 2.  

This innovative program is a time for families to share together with their 1-3 year old children.  
Siblings who are age 5 and under are also welcome to attend.  

Each week will feature puzzles, books, blocks, dramatic play and more followed by a story and rhymes.  

Parents/caregivers will also be introduced to some of the many resources available to them to assist in the raising of their toddlers and have an opportunity to meet new friends in an educational and creative environment.

A resource professional from the community will be available on two of the Mondays during this session to discuss parenting questions and concerns.  

Topics will include child development, nutrition, immunization and more.  Do not miss the opportunity to consult with experts on a no-fee basis while your child enjoys a wonderful play experience.  

Space is limited, so registration is requested.  Families are encouraged to attend each week to obtain the full benefits of this four week session.
