The Partnership for Children of Wayne County will host our 6th Annual Born Learning Children?s Festival on Saturday, June 4, 2011.

This exciting event is tailored especially for young children ages birth to five, and will promote the Born Learning Campaign message that children are born learning, and that parents can use everyday moments such as sorting laundry or grocery shopping as learning moments. The festival is from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Herman Park and the Wayne County Public Library. Through funding from the United Way of Wayne County, the Partnership for Children implements the local Born Learning initiative. Born Learning is a national public awareness campaign that is designed to help parents, caregivers and communities provide young children with early learning opportunities. By starting early, parents can give children the tools they need to arrive at school ready to succeed.

In addition to children?s activities in the park, the festival will offer a storytelling session at the library. We will also offer free train rides on the Kiwanis miniature train, children?s activities, a petting zoo, face painting, and moonwalk. Refreshments will also be available at no charge. After visiting agency booths, children may enter a drawing for prizes to be given away at the end of the event.
