Leaf Fox - Play Pals

Play Pals is program for children ages 3-5 along with a parent or caregiver and is offered once a month by National Trail. This month the kids participated in a fun fall activity and made foxes out of fallen leaves.

Play Pals is a great time for parents or caregivers and their children to interact on fun activities such as games, arts and crafts and more. This is a nice transitional program for children who may not be ready to be left alone at a preschool program but still enjoy, along with their caregiver, participating in fun activities and socializing with the other children. It gives the child practice on listening and following directions for later preschool readiness. Make sure you make your calendars for November 14 and call (937)328-PARK to register to register for next months session.
