Many Events for Parents and Kids by the Wallingford Discovery Program
WE CARE is the Wallingford Discovery program. Discovery is an early childhood initiative funded by the William Casper Graustein Memorial Fund of Hamden, CT. The goal of the Discovery program is to focus attention on families with children birth-8yrs and to encourage families to become advocates for the needs of their children. In Meriden the program is called Children First and is run by David Radcliffe at the Meriden Public Library site. WE CARE offers playgroups for infant/toddlers and parents. That program is called The Playful Cruisers. Our playgroup series will begin again in March 2007. WE CARE also offers an educational series for parents and child care professionals in the evenings. All of our programs are listed on the Discovery website at www.wcgmf.org under the Community link.
