The Eureka Public Library is offering a sixweek Babygarten class which will begin on Thursday, March 7, at 5:30 p.m. Babygarten is a program that brings caregivers and babies together for an hour of stimulating experiences intended to nurture the bond between caregiver and child and to increase the caregiver’s awareness of their child’s development. Classes will primarily focus on the healthy development of infants ages 0-24 months with an emphasis on language enrichment and pre-literacy skills. Because of this focus, attendance will be limited to that age group and their caregivers. These classes are free, but there are only 12 spots available so pre-registration is required by 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 4. If more than 12 pre-register, a wait list will be started for future classes. To register or for questions, call 620-583-6222 or visit the library at 606 North Main, Eureka.
