Story Time
Sponsored by the National Association for
the Education of the Young Child (or NAEYC), the
Week of the Young Child
is an annual event focusing on the enrichment of a child’s early
years and the effect that it has on his/her later school success. This
year’s theme is “Early
Years are Learning Years”, and the PECC will partner with the
Portland Library to bring you a family event and Children’s Art Show!
On
Thursday, April 8th at 6:30 p.m., families with children ages 5 and
under are invited to hop into their pajamas and join us at the Portland
Library for an evening Story Telling Event.
We will be exploring the work of Eric Carle and trying our hand at
his unique method of art.
An
Art Show Reception will be held at the Library
on Wednesday April 14th
from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
sponsored by the
Portland Early Childhood Council, light refreshments will be
served.All participants and members of the community are invited to
celebrate Portland’s young artists during the reception. In addition,
Liberty Bank will be raffling off a savings bond for one lucky winner, to
help with their future academic success.
Registration is required for the story time event. Please go on-line to
