Welcome to 2021!
Our latest project!
Babies don’t come with “instruction manuals”! But don't you wish they did? Help teach parenting skills to new parents!
One of our agencies, South County Youth Coalition, actually teaches parenting skills! They have 80 new parents (40 English Speaking, 40 Spanish Speaking) signed up and could use some help with providing the practice items for the parents to use at home. We are hoping to make up 80 “learning bags” by February 28! There are 4 levels in the curriculum with 20 parents in each level.
Level 1 babies 0 – 12 months
Level 2 babies 12 – 24 months
Level 3 toddlers 24 to 36 months
Level 4 children 36 months to 5 years
Listed below for each level are the items or types of items helpful for a parent. At the end is a list of books (Spanish and English) that would also be helpful. We need 20 bags for each level. Pick a level, purchase the items, fill your bag (any bag will do),label the bag with the level ( eg. LEVEL 1), Send us an email sslocountywomenade@gmail.com that you have filled a bag for what level(this is important). We will send out an email when the levels are maxed out (20 at each level). Bags can be dropped off at either:
Margaret Kensinger-Klopfer 621 Eman Ct, Arroyo Grande Tuesdays or Thursdays (any time after 8) in the cardboard box by the front door
or
