Effingham, IL -(Effingham Radio)- The Regional Office of Education #3 Learning Express Program focused on the topics of dental and self-care for their February Group Connections.
The families that attended learned dental information about brushing teeth and made a brushing chart for their children. Each child received a free toothbrush. The parents also learned about self-care and simple things they can do to be their child’s first and most important teacher.
Door prizes included a personal hygiene kit, First Aid kit, and a laundry kit.
Learning Express is a free voluntary program for those ages 0-3 years. This home visiting program is provided by the Regional Superintendent of Schools, Julie Wollerman, and funded by the Illinois State Board of Education Early Childhood Prevention Initiative Grant.
