CPMC BabySteps Kickoff Event | Last Sunday, June 22nd @ the JCC

Over 100 families gathered at the Jewish Community Center this past Sunday to obtain valuable family resources as well as to learn about CPMC BabySteps, a website created for parents to network with each other, connect to local resources, and build a parent support network. The program included booths for toxic toy testing and child care referrals, as well as child friendly activities such as story time, picture book making, and face painting. To find out more about events like this as well as to gain access to helpful parent resources go to www.cpmcbabysteps.org. Thanks to all who turned out for this fantastic event!
