Children's Enrichment Center celebrates April as Month of Young Child

Grand Valley’s Children’s Enrichment Center, formally the Children’s Center, has planned a host of activities to celebrate April as the Month of the Young Child.

Highlights include a read-a-thon, Dollar Day fundraiser and a bake sale. Sharalle Arnold, assistant director, said the center’s staff set a read-a-thon goal of 1,000 books for April. Faculty and staff members can help by visiting the center’s Web site, www.gvsu.edu/child , and tracking each book they read to their own children.

“So much is gained by spending a few minutes with a child and reading,” Arnold said.

Money collected through the Dollar Day fundraiser on April 6 will go toward student-parent scholarships and equipment for the center.
