Vernon School Readiness Council Planning "Ready, Set, Baby!" Fair for September

The Infant and Toddler Community of Practice is planning a town wide baby shower on September 22nd from 10-3

We can all agree that no matter your circumstances, raising a child takes a village.

The Vernon School Readiness Council, and its subcommittee called The Infant and Toddler Community of Practice, are committees designed to help parents in the community raise safe, healthy, and productive children by providing Vernon/Rockville parents and child care providers with resources and information. They are currently planning a community-wide baby shower on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Tallcott Park in Rockville.

If you are an expectant or new parent, or parent of a toddler, then this event is for you!
