Family Literacy and Learning

Books for Babies

This program helps put books into homes as early as possible by giving a book bag to infants at their four month immunization. Baby receives their first library card along with two board books. Information about the importance of early literacy along with strategies for you to help your child in the early years is also included.

Family Programs

Rainbows

Rainbows is an international non-profit organization that fosters emotional healing among children grieving a loss from a life altering crisis.

Through interactive games, lessons and activities led by trained facilitators, the Rainbows program helps walk children through the difficult phases of grief by:

• Building confidence and self esteem
• Helping prevent destructive behaviors
• Helping children grieve and grow after loss

We provide the following program levels:

• Sunbeams (pre-school age 4-6)
• Rainbows (ages 7-12)
• Prism (parents of children in the program)

To register your child or to inquire about this program, contact our office @ 780-352-7257
