January - celebrating both Moms and Dads
For our Saturday session in January, we held "Muffins with Mom" at our classroom in Head Start. All family members were welcome to come but we wanted to focus on our moms since we would later be joining Head Start's “Dad, Dinner, Dinosaurs and a Story” night. The children made a snowman craft and we read books and sang songs that revolved around the theme of winter and snow. Families enjoyed the same craft, theme and topic at our Conexión Latina session.
Baby Steps was lucky enough to be able to join Head Start’s “Dad, Dinner, Dinosaurs and a Story” night. We had a fun evening at Head Start, eating dinosaur nuggets, reading dinosaur books, listening to Dads share stories and hunting for dinosaurs in the sand. It was great seeing an event where so many Dads and father figures were present to support their children. Families were invited to take home books about dinosaurs from the books table (pictured above at left).
Baby Steps held our first session at the Middletown Library on January 26th from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Going forward we will be having a session at the library one Thursday morning a month. We encourage Middletown families as well as all families who live in Newport County to come and join us.
