Playgroup Visitor and Snack Donations

by

Sarah Buhl from Amherst College Child Learning and Development Lab will be visiting playgroup tomorrow, Tuesday, 8/5. Sarah and the Learning Development Lab will talk about their newest studies and possibly run a quick short study if there is enough parent interest.

We still need fruit and nut-free snack donations for our August summer playgroups on Tuesday 8/5 and Tuesday 8/12! Did you know? All of our healthy, nut-free snacks for playgroup come from our families: caretakers have brought bananas, apples, oranges/mandarins, crackers, veggie stix, pretzels, etc. Cucumbers and tomatoes are also welcome!

Since there is limited kitchen access for NPC’s summer playgroups, we ask that bananas, mandarins, goldfish/bunnies/crackers, or anything that does not required slicing be brought if possible. 2 bananas and/or one box or bag of a dry, nut-free snack is enough for 1-2 playgroups.

Please contact Lindsey (northamptonparentscenter@gmail.com) with any questions.

Thank you in advance for your help and generosity!
