On the evening of April 16, Hayfork Elementary School hosted local families to dinner and an evening of fun activities for the community’s “Little Learners”!
Sponsored by the Trinity County Local Childcare Planning Council, local kids and their families were treated to dinner (courtesy of Casa De Castellanos) and explored and participated in a wide variety of activities including early literacy, brain development, the importance of play, water safety, and oral health and nutrition. Kids received life jackets, books, sensory bins, dental hygiene kits, and piggy banks. All part of the Little Learning Spaces program.
“This event was so much better than I expected”, said one local parent, “I couldn't get my kid to leave! I even bribed him with ice cream and sprinkles, but that didn't compare with the fun he was having. Great fun for the whole family."
Many local partners contributed to this event to support stronger community connections, improve safety, and share early learning resources.
Participating agencies and partners included the Trinity County Sheriff’s Department, Human Response Network, Trinity County Public Health, Trinity County First 5, Mountain Kids Therapy, UC Cal Fresh, Far Northern Regional Center, Barnes PlayCare, Ready Set Goal, Trinity County Office of Education and Hayfork Elementary School. Special thanks to Sadie “Book Butterfly” Fagen and the Workability Squad from Mountain Valley USD.
Burnt Ranch Elementary will be hosting their own Little Learning Spaces event on Tuesday, April 30.
