RCPL is a recipient of one of the State Library's Family Place Training grants so Angelica and I will attend training November 16-19. Luckily this year's Family Place Library training is at the Carson Regional Library of CoLAPL so Angelica doesn't have to endure a cross-country airplane trip with me. And we don't have to drive half the length of Long Island in the dark once off the plane. We just have to navigate via GPS to the DoubleTree in Carson in the middle of the afternoon.
During the training we'll be visiting some LA County Libraries to see how they do Family Place, observe a signature parent workshop and learn how to apply for the money phase of the grant through the State Library. So follow us next week as we absorb all we can about this program so that we can return and determine how best to adapt it to the "Rancho Way".

This looks great Renee! Thanks for setting this up! I think we're going to have so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to learn more about the infant brain development. That online training session was very interesting learning about "the wiring" be almost complete by age 3.
How can anyone not support preparing children 0-3 with brain development and preparing the stage for learning! Come on! :)
Almost as obvious as our 2nd floor plans eh?...
ReplyDeleteRenee - the blog looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to the training last year, the infant brain development portion was the most interesting part of the workshop. It's pretty amazing what's going on in a baby's little brain.
