The Lawrence Memorial Library's Begin Together program is a series of 8-week workshops to support new parents/caregivers and infants, offered once in the Fall 2021 and again in the Winter 2022. These workshops are designed to encourages families to engage in age-appropriate activities through singing, games, and movement with a focus on support by professionals in the fields of infant massage, parenting/child development, family literacy, and postpartum healing/yoga. Additionally, parents and caregivers will be invited to learn and understand their child’s development and become confident in their supporting roles. These workshops will develop community connections that will support and nurture families for years to come.
