Please
remember to sign up for “Meals & More” for families with
babies under 1 year of age. Remember how hard that first year was with your
new baby? Especially the first few weeks and months! BFN Meals for Families with Babies -->
http://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/13813/ If you don't feel like cooking, you
can always offer babysitting for siblings or other neighborly helps. Be
creative and reach out to our friends with babies!

Infancy
to Independence
I to I is a nonprofit, cooperative play program for toddlers and
preschoolers. The program meets once a week from 9 to 11:30 a.m., and a
typical day consists of unstructured play time, an age-appropriate craft,
circle time, snack time, and a parent discussion. There are no paid staff
members and each parent participates in helping to run the semester. I to I
is designed to be a pre-preschool, introducing children ages 1-4 to the
structure and expectations of that experience but with a parent there to
help them through it. The program has no religious affiliation, and
siblings under age 1 are welcomed and free of charge. The program meets
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and registration forms for any of the
three days are being accepted on a first-come, first served basis. Please
call Lynn
at 978-263-1093 or e-mail actonadmissions@itoi-ma.org to RSVP for
the open house. For more information, go to www.itoi-ma.org/acton/index.html.

minutes long and take place in a noncompetitive, collaborative group
setting.
If you have a first grader looking for a fun math activity,
look for the upcoming winter edition of AB Community Education's
