an exciting eight-week

has planned activities for
children aged 2-10 which will
include water sports, creative

as well as a morning program
for the older children.
All meals and snacks are
provided for the children at no
cost. Enrollment in this
program is limited to 25 and
Ms. Kling would like to en-
courage parents to reserve a
spot for their children early.
The Center is currently.
engaged in other fund raising
activities to upgrade the
playground area and purchase
equipment and supplies for
the summer program. The
annual community calendar
drive will begin in June.
In addition to day care
services, the center also
administers the highly suc-
cessful Sponsorship Program.
Ms. Linbergh, as Program
Director, explained that this
program furnishes "m d
formation on food a
nutrition to 35 individual day
care home providers. Many of
these homes are in Bradford.
Kathy Blanchard, president
of the Board of Directors and a
teacher at Oxbow, is very
enthusiastic about the Cen-
ter's varied programs.
"It is unfortunate that many
day care centers face an
uncertain future due to federal
and state cutbacks at a time
when there is an increasing
need for day care as more
mothers and single parents
take jobs outside the home.
Our fund raising committee
intends to work harder to raise
money to maintain the ex-
cellent quality of our
programs for area children,"
she said.

man. Ills head was a carrot,
his body a tomato, his arms
beans, and so on. It can be any
vegetables the children

There was a man who lived on
the moon.
And his name was Aiken

For a head he had a carrot

daily, taught by Meriel Hall,
as well as a morning program
for the older children.
All meals and snacks are
provided for the children at no
cost. Enrollment in this
program is limited to 25 and
Ms. Kling would like to en-
courage parents to reserve a
spot for their children early.
The Center is currently.
engaged in other fund raising
activities to upgrade the
playground area and purchase
equipment and supplies for
the summer program. The
annual community calendar
drive will begin in June.
In addition to day care
services, the center also
administers the highly suc-
cessful Sponsorship Program.
Ms. Linbergh, as Program
Director, explained that this
program furnishes "m d
formation on food a
nutrition to 35 individual day
care home providers. Many of
these homes are in Bradford.
Kathy Blanchard, president
of the Board of Directors and a
teacher at Oxbow, is very
enthusiastic about the Cen-
ter's varied programs.
"It is unfortunate that many
day care centers face an
uncertain future due to federal
and state cutbacks at a time
when there is an increasing
need for day care as more
mothers and single parents
take jobs outside the home.
Our fund raising committee
intends to work harder to raise
money to maintain the ex-
cellent quality of our
programs for area children,"
she said.
