StrongStart News
The Dr. Thomas A Swift StrongStart program is a fun and vibrant time for parents and tots to get to know each other, play some games, listen to some songs, play with toys and learn a few things. With new Covid-19 protocols, visitors are asked to register a day prior to coming to StrongStart with Eventbright (Click here for link to info) and all adults are asked to wear a mask. Although there is a 12 person limit, Ms. Lise provides a fun time for all who come.
After Spring Break, the "Thursday in the Park" program will continue for the remainder of the year.
