CCC&TI Early Childhood Education Program Hosting Free Reading Event

Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Early Childhood Education Program will host “Spring Into Reading,” a free reading event for children, on Monday, April 16 at the Caldwell Campus library in Hudson. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with snacks and creative centers throughout the library followed by an interactive read-aloud led by CCC&TI’s Early Childhood program students.

The event will coincide “The Week of the Young Child,” an annual week of events promoted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which celebrates early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. This year's Week of the Young Child is April 16–20.

CCC&TI’s event will feature several hands-on stations throughout the library including art, clay and face painting from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Snacks will be available as well as information on CCC&TI’s Early Childhood Program and other programs of study. At 6 p.m., children will be invited to the library’s classroom for an interactive reading and activity session with CCC&TI Early Childhood students. Students will share stories, flannel board activities and selected readings featuring the work of children’s author Eric Carle.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information on this event or CCC&TI’s Early Childhood Education Program, contact Program Director Amanda White at 828.726.2604 or email mwhite@cccti.edu.
