Family, Friends and Neighbors Who Care for Young Children

Stratford Parents’ Place (SPP) is reaching out to families, friends or neighbors who provide child care in their homes for young children other than their own. Many Stratford children in their birth through preschool years are in the daily care of family, friends, or neighbors in their homes and Stratford Parents' Place is offering programs and services for this important group of people through the Family, Friends and Neighbors Project.
One component of the Family, Friends and Neighbors’ Project is the monthly Provider/Child Activity sessions, Play, Read, and Learn! at Stratford Parents’ Place, 719 Birdseye Street, Stratford. The family resource center is offering sessions the first Friday monthly, from 10:00am-11:15am. Upcoming dates include March 4, April 1, April 8 and May 6, 2016. Each session uses a specific children’s book with related activities to encourage preschool reading and language skills. All Stratford adults who care for children other than their own are invited to attend.
SPP, a cooperative project of Stratford Public Schools, is a family resource center located at Stratford Academy/Johnson House, 719 Birdseye Street. All programs and services are for Stratford residents and are free of charge. The United Way of Coastal Fairfield County provides funding for the Family, Friends and Neighbors’ Project.
