Derby library to hold Family Place workshops in May

       DERBY - The spring session of Family Place Parent/Child Workshops will be offered 10-11:15 a.m. May 6, 13, and 20 at Derby Public Library.
   
       This innovative program is a time for families to share together with their one to three-year olds. Siblings age five and under are also welcome to attend. 

The workshops feature puzzles, books, blocks, a craft, dramatic play and more.
Parents/caregivers will also be introduced to some of the many resources available to them to assist in the raising of their toddlers and have an opportunity to meet new friends in an educational and creative environment.
       Each workshop will focus on a different topic and will feature a professional from the community who will be available to discuss parenting questions and concerns.  Topics will include child development, nutrition, immunization and more. 
        Do not miss the opportunity to consult with experts on a no-fee basis while your child enjoys a wonderful play experience. Space is limited; registration is requested.  Families are encouraged to attend all the workshops to obtain the full benefits.
