Family, Friends and Neighbors Celebration!

Stratford Parents’ Place (SPP) celebrated another successful year of its Family, Friends and Neighbors program. Providers who attended this year’s celebration were treated to dessert and a raffle for toys and baby equipment, many of which were donated by the Junior Women’s League of Stratford, and also Stratford families who support the center’s mission.

The Family, Friends and Neighbors program reaches out to Stratford home based child care providers and offers support and education to these providers to support quality childcare programming in the area. Funding is provided by the United Way of Coastal Fairfield County. The program offers a lending library of learning bags; a home visiting program focusing on providing child development information; monthly playgroup at Parents’ Place; and a quarterly Café night for providers to meet other providers and talk about relevant topics. The providers are also able to participate in Stratford Parents’ Place Early Childhood Institute workshops.
Stratford Parents’ Place, a family resource center, located at Stratford Academy/Johnson House, 719 Birdseye Street is a program of the Stratford Public Schools. All programs and services are for Stratford residents. For more information about this exciting program, please call Migda Carrero, Stratford Parents’ Place at 203-381-6992 or carrerom@stratk12.org.
