Taking Group on the road....

We have had two great weeks. Last week we visited the Killam Indoor Program. We were hoping for at least one family, we had four! They very much enjoyed the afternoon and asked about the price of coming back and inquired about programing. This is great connecting these families to other community resources. Today we did a large group project at the Lougheed Community Hall. We had 7 families attend and 23 children aged 1 1/2 to 12. We divided the kids into four groups and they visited four different stations. We started with a 20 minute session where I read a story and sang some songs. The groups then visited either Signe for PT, Karen for Speech, Shara-Lynn for skipping, and Doreen for "arm" painting. We were happy to have Katherine from AHS Health Promotions set up a table and spoke to the ladies about the importance of car seats and bike helmets. She referred many of our families to recieve free carseats! She also checked the carseats and found that all of them had errors, which she corrected. We ended our day with a very healthy snack and sang our goodbye song. It was a very successful day!
