GROVE CITY, Pa. – Grove City College will host the annual Early Childhood Community Celebration on April 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Intramural Room of the Physical Learning Center on campus. Sponsored by the College’s Early Education Center, Education Department and various student honoraries, the event surrounds the national observance of the Week of the Young Child.
Activities will include refreshments, helium balloons, face painting, a dramatic play area, physical activities and games, clowns, an art area, and stories. Participating groups from the community include Our Children Our Future, Grove City Area United Way and a community enrichment survey group.
All families with children ages 8 and under are invited to attend. Children are asked to donate one penny for each activity they participate in. The penny drive will support the new children’s wing of the Grove City Community Library.
The Week of the Young Child is spearheaded by the National Association of the Education of Young Children, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of early education programs. According to the NAEYC, children attending high-quality preschool programs are more likely to develop the language, math and social skills necessary to succeed in school. Thus, the week seeks to support the healthy development and early learning of children.
