Parents of preschool children are invited to attend a fun, free and interactive festival celebrating the first 2,000 days of childhood at the Ardrossan Recreation Complex (80-1 Ave, Ardrossan) on Saturday, October 1, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The First 2000 Days Festival features interactive learning play experiences for children ranging from birth to five years old. Professionals from the community will be available to discuss a variety of early childhood topics including sleep, nutrition, safety and play.
This event is a collaborative partnership between Strathcona County Early Childhood Coalition, including Family and Community Services and several community organizations that support the healthy development of young children.
Event details and a complete list of partners
Parents are also encouraged to download the newly launched Early Childhood App, featuring information about early childhood programs in Strathcona County, services for families of preschool-aged children and developmental milestones from birth to five years old.
There are 2,000 days between the time a baby is born and when he/she heads off to kindergarten. Experiences during these 2,000 days have a lasting impact on later learning, health and success. Children’s first experiences determine how their brains are wired, lay the groundwork for future health, and form the foundation of the social and emotional skills needed for academic and workplace success.
