What do you get when you put storybook characters, community leaders, books and children together?
Answer: A Party in the Park and a whole lot of fun!
Child Care Resources and child care providers through out Kalamazoo County are honored to have been a part of Party in the Park from the beginning. Started as a small gathering of children and their caregivers in Bronson Park twelve years ago, this year’s Party in the Park is expected to draw more than 1500 children! Gathered in groups around the park, children will be enchanted by storybook characters and community leaders as they read their favorite books to the children. Every child will receive a free book to take home, a drink and snack.
Child care providers in homes and centers, parents and grandparents are invited to bring their preschool children to join us at Party in the Park on Wednesday, May 27 at Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. Please RSVP to 269-553-7886 with the number of children and adults.
Party in the Park, an event in honor of “Stand for Children” day, is sponsored by Kalamazoo Public Library’s Ready to Read program, Bronson Children’s Hospital, Great Start Programs of Kalamazoo and Child Care Resources.
