Geauga County Public Library is happy to collaborate with Geauga County Early Intervention/Help Me Grow to present early childhood art programs and developmental screenings this fall.
Help Me Grow is a voluntary program for families with infants and toddlers between the ages of birth and three years old. The goal of the program is to assure that newborns, infants, and toddlers have the best possible start in life. Help Me Grow is a statewide program, administered locally by the Geauga Family First Council, which provides services to promote children’s growth and development and supports families during their children’s early years.
In order to continue providing families with valuable support and services during a child’s early years, Help Me Grow will be holding the following events at various GCPL locations this fall:
- Help Me Grow: You and me art
- Birth – 3 years, with caregiver
- Chardon: Friday, September 13th at 10:00 a.m.
- Geauga West: Friday, November 8th at 10:00 a.m.
- Bainbridge: Friday, November 15th at 10:00 a.m.
Geauga County Early Intervention/Help Me Grow presents a fun-filled morning of sensory eexploration. Squishing, tearing, and scribbling are all part of the enjoyment as your children use their senses during this early-learning art experience.
- Help Me Grow screenings
- Birth – 3 years
- Bainbridge: Wednesday, September 18th from 9:00 a.m. – noon
- Geauga West: Wed., October 2nd from 9:00 a.m. – noon

If you, your child’s physician, childcare provider, or a family member are concerned about your child’s development, attend a developmental screening day hosted by the Geauga County Early Intervention Program.
