On June 15th the Birth-3 Program hosted their June family night pool party! There were 97 Birth-3 family members in attendance (the biggest family event to date!) We offered pizza, admission to the pool, and door prizes. Beginning with the end in mind, we encourage family to create lasting relationships with other families in the program. These connections creates a support network within our families. Birth-3 is the place to be! This program is free for prenatal moms and families with children under the age of 3 who reside in the MCUSD #2 district. The program offers developmental, social social emotional, hearing and Vision screenings for children 3 and under. Contact Katrina Farris at 238-8806 more information. #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #Birthto3
