There is a book called Fostering the Grandma Connection that is available anytime to borrow. The children have been enjoying Q-tip painting. They have been learning animal sounds at circle time and tickled Emma Taylor's little piggies. They have also been making crowns, practising soccer and aerobics. Moms enjoyed discussing pregnancy and upcoming births. It is great to see the sharing of resources between the parents as well. This free program runs Wednesday mornings from 10 - I1:30 a.m. Children are welcome anytime with their caregiver.
