SPRING PROGRAMMING

At this time we continue to offer our Learn & Play and Interactive Story Time programs virtually on ZOOM. Raising a Reader will be in person, outside, weather permitting.

Our schedule of Learn & Play Groups and Interactive Story Times is listed below.

Spring Programs run for 8 weeks from the week of April 4th through

the week of June 6th

We are excited to introduce MEET UP MONDAYS this spring. Each Monday CFCE staff will be at a park in one of our ten towns from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, to say hello, give out books or activities, and allow families to get to gather safely outside! Look for when we'll be in your town below.

No registration necessary for Meet Up Mondays!

All our early learning groups are for children ages 0 -5 with a parent, guardian or caregiver, and include circle time, singing, stories, and activities that support cognitive, physical, and social-emotional growth and development. Families will also have an opportunity to utilize the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, a free tool, that provides parents with a snapshot of their child’s development. Registration is required for all groups.
