N-O-W Schools to host Child Development Day

Contributed by the N-O-W School District

The Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District, in cooperation with surrounding communities and agencies that provide services to families with young children, will host its 2020 Child Development Day from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, in the elementary gymnasium.

The event will include a booth for registration for 4-year-old kindergarten. Enrollees need to be 4 years old before Sept. 1, 2020. Families who have contacted us in the past about children will receive letters toward the end of March with more information. If you are not sure if you are on the list, call Kathy Jones at 337-4420.

Families with children between the ages of 2 years, 10 months, to 4 years old are invited to celebrate their children’s development. Parents, as your child’s first teacher, we recognize you as partners in your children’s education. This informal screening allows your child to play with others while observers complete a developmental checklist that is shared with parents. Agencies from the community will offer a wealth of materials to inform you of resources available in this area. Car-seat safety information will be available, as will an onsite inspection at you request.

Child Development Day has three primary goals:

• To provide families with information concerning children’s normal sequence of growth and development from birth to age 5

• To provide families with information regarding service available in the community and county

• To identify young children who may need a further assessment in the following areas: physical, sensory, personal, social, adaptive, large and fine motor, communication and cognition

We need your support to assist with our Child Find Program. If you are aware of any children of the above ages, contact Kathy Jones at 337-4420, ext. 378.

Come share a half hour or so with your child. This is a celebration to support families whose young children are our future.
