HomeRead with Me Day
Reading, and being read to, is critical to a child's development so having access children's books and developing a love for reading is important.
So on Thursday 14 June we will be celebrating 'Read with Me Day'.
Calling all Grandparents...

The Grandparents are also invited to stay for Morning Tea. Don't forget to ask the Grandparents to bring along their favourite children's book too.
