NEW Parent Child Academy at the Hudson Area Library

If you have a child, birth to five, celebrate and strengthen your role as your child’s first and best teacher! Join a supportive community of families! Learn how to develop your child’s vital early literacy skills so they will enter school ready to read! Receive free books and prizes each week! A cash incentive will be given for exceptional attendance. The Hudson Area Library’s 5-week Parent Child Academy will empower parents as the first and most important teachers in their children’s lives. The Academy will provide a friendly environment in which to learn about using activities to build children’s literacy in their daily home lives. These activities, and the resources provided by the Academy, will help prepare children to learn to read and write when they enter Kindergarten. This is our second series of 5 workshops and all are welcome including parents who have already attended. The Parent Child Academy will be Saturdays, 10:30am – 1pm, March 4, 11, 18, 25 and April 1 at the Hudson Area Library, 51 North 5th Street, Hudson, NY. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
