St Edward's Playgroup this coming week
Is your child starting Kindergarten next year?
We invite you to come along to our St Edward’s Playgroup next Tuesday 6th September.
Mrs Madden our guest speaker, will be discussing topics such as:
* The importance of sharing books with toddlers and preschoolers, modelling a love and respect for books and stories, as well as building an emotional connection with your child through a shared reading time.
* Building vocabulary through reading a variety of books, choosing age appropriate books to keep children engaged and continuing to read to/with your child as they move through different school years.
We would love to see you there!
