Partnership for Children

We recently purchased a membership at the Partnership for Children of Johnston County after hearing a friend rave about this place. For $20 a year, you have access to tons boxes full of games, books that teach on a variety of subjects, or toys, books, movies, games, etc. for infant, toddler, preschool, & elementary school age for up to 3 weeks at the time. You can check out 3 boxes and 4 other items at a time (or 7 items total). You also have access to their die cut machine (bring your own paper), laminater ($1/foot), and copy machine (can't remember price). You can also attend the Tots and Tales (Literacy Program) that meets the 2nd Thurs of the month at 10:30 and your family gets the featured book of the day to take home, and you may attend the parent workshops, etc. Great resource!! We are currently enjoying boxes on insects & bees(since Cameron, Carter and myself have all been stung in the past 3 weeks) and a box of baby dolls for Cameron and a couple other books on bugs. We will use this resource as we do preschool at home starting this fall. :)

This past Thursday, we went for the first Tots & Tales. The featured book was Are you my Mother? We already have the book, but now we have the English/Spanish version. ;) We read the book and then colored a bird/put feathers on the bird. There was also a flannel boards for the kids. All in all, it was a fun time and Aaron joined us since he goes back to school...tomorrow. :(





Believe it OR NOT, I am currently caught up so I plan to go back and highlight some of our fun times. Plan...haha.
