Love and Logic is every Monday from 5:30-8:00p. You will be working with community children while their parents are in Love and Logic classes. Children will change monthly. Ages will vary weekly.

Introducing yourself to the parents and creating a warm and welcoming environment is paramount.
SPF Journeys is bi weekly on Mondays from 5:30-8:00p. Children eat with their parents from 5:30-6:30 and then join you (and the ongoing childcare) in the library. These children are consistent each meeting, ages will range from toddler to 13 years of age. We have games, puzzles, books and crafts for you to engage the children with. Offering homework help and ongoing positive adult relationships will be very important for these families. Creating a supportive and welcoming relationship with the Single Parents will be vital to our program's success. Consistency with these children is key.
