United Way’s Kids Play and Learn Day is celebrating the joy of reading on Saturday, August 8, from 1 – 4 p.m. at the Metzenbaum Center, 8200 Cedar Road.
While kids are busy reading to therapy dogs, getting their faces painted or participating in crafts, parents will have time to learn about resources available to families in Geauga County.
Performers from the Geauga Lyric Theatre Guild will be there, along with a special appearance of Elsa from the Disney movie Frozen! Parents with children younger than five years old can complete a learning check-up to make sure they are on track for the knowledge and skills needed for kindergarten.
Agencies will be on hand to answer questions about appropriate milestones and early learning experiences for children. A free book will be given to each child. Adults can also learn about tutoring and mentoring opportunities throughout the county. It’s reading, fun and games, and, best of all, the event is free!
For more information, call 216-436-2045.
