Sign up today at: www.lunadepapel.us
About Luna De Papel:
In a world where everyone is increasingly used to working with electronic devices, at Luna de Papel they take a step back and focus on practical life skills that teach an appreciation for handcrafts. Children today are used to instant gratification, this can stifle the ability to strive for long-term goals. Handcrafts take commitment but they teach children that they can achieve great things if they take them one step at a time. At Luna de Papel, they teach children how to “create”. When they learn to create, they know that they can control their environment, which builds tremendous self-esteem. Their goal is to build self-esteem through more approachable, authentic, and sustainable self-expression than simple art. They offer a ton of classes and camps for kids.

School Readiness Workshop
2022-08-10 10:30 - 11:30 | Van Vorst Park, Jersey City , United States
School Readiness Workshop: A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones & Parents for the World of Daycare and Preschool
How can I best prepare for my child to start school?
For each parent individually, this decision should not be taken lightly. However, before considering the pros and cons of preschool education, parents must first and foremost consider their family situation. For many parents who work full-time, entering their child into daycare or preschool is not always a result of desire but of necessity, and for those parents fortunate enough not to require full-time care, the child’s need for socialization and academics weighs heavily as the child ages.
Join us for A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones for the World of Daycare and Preschool and Parents: Reentering the Workplace After Childbirth. This workshop will be held at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park, Jersey City on Wednesday, August 10th from 10:30 am-11:30 am by the Preschool Administrator of 12 years, Erin Kahy.

During the workshop, there will be a discussion on preparing your little one for the world of school and beyond child preparation to prepare yourselves as parents for this new journey. The discussion will also head into breastfeeding/pumping while at the office, introducing a bottle, and separation anxiety for children of all ages.
Children are welcome to join the workshop. Please bring a blanket to sit on as there will be no seating. We will be at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park.

This workshop is free to attend but registration is required.
