Songs and rhymes for young children have been passed down for generations. Such nursery rhymes and songs are a fun way to teach children to talk and to get ready to read. Sharing rhymes and finger plays also provide a nurturing experience between caregiver and child. But did you know that a nationally recognized program on teaching songs, rhymes and storytelling to families is one of the many programs offered to parents through Talk With Me- Anglophone East? Chipoudy Communities Revitalization Committee (CCRC) has worked with East Coast Kids to provide a Licensed Daycare Centre in Riverside Consolidated School (RCS). Since June 2017, they have provided a special space in our rural community for children to play, laugh and learn. CCRC’s first step in ensuring that a daycare could open in RCS was to see that washrooms were constructed on the ground floor, near the preschool classroom. Anglophone East staff completed the work in time for the daycare to open for the summer of 2017. By Erica Muise My husband Ira and I were both fortunate to grow up in book loving homes. When we had our son, Levi, in 2014 we knew we wanted to foster a love for reading and books at an early age. Being in a rural area I wasn’t sure how many programs we would have access to locally, but I was delighted to discover an abundance right here in Albert County. By Janet Wallace and originally published in March 2016 “I like books!” says Owen, piling his favourite books on his bed. The three--year-old eagerly shows me his library. His mother, Robin Stuart, fills in the back story. Owen is enrolled in the Imagination Library. From birth until their fifth birthdays, children receive a book in the mail each month. “A friend of mine told me about the Imagination Library,” says Robin. “She told me you can get a free book each month. It sounded amazing. And it is!” |
