The Family Resource Navigators Early Start Program Play Group gathered at the San Leandro Public Library, providing a safe, inclusive space for young children and their caregivers. They came together to build and enjoy a nurturing learning environment for children aged zero to five.
A multitude of hands-on and tactile stations dotted the room. Sensory bins were filled with an array of textures and materials designed to stimulate a child's curiosity. Puzzles, perfect for developing problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination, were scattered throughout the area. Animals, gears, and other educational toys were within arm's reach, providing endless opportunities for interactive play.
Stacking toys and jumbo soft blocks could be found child-sized tables, ready for little hands to construct and deconstruct to their heart's content. Art stations were also aplenty, with crafts, coloring, and even child-friendly sewing activities. And of course, nestled in cozy corners were a plethora of books, encouraging a love for reading from an early age.
Delicious and healthy treats were provided to keep energy levels up and tummies satisfied. All around, children had the opportunity to learn through play, make new friends, and develop essential skills, all under the nurturing care of our dedicated team of staff and caregivers.
