Growing Great Kids

Raton families with babies and toddlers are invited to a free, two-hour program to discover easy and cheap ways to help their kids succeed in life. The program is 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 3, at the Raton Early Head Start facility at 1144 Jones Street.
Snacks and childcare will be provided for this fun and free, two-hour program, which will include fascinating videos.

Presenters will share information on how a baby’s brain develops. They will also offer easy tips on how we can help our young children develop critical skills, like focus and self-control.
The program is sponsored by Growing Great Kids, which is Raton’s early childhood coalition. Representatives of the University of New Mexico’s Family Development Program will lead the program.
