CHP ParentChild+ Program Accepting South Berkshire Families

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — ParentChild+, a CHP Family Services program for school-bound toddlers and their parents/caregivers, is accepting new enrollments in Southern Berkshire.
 
The free home-based program provides peer mentoring for parents/caregivers and their young children, age 16 months to 3.5 years, who will be heading to pre-school or kindergarten in the next year or two. The program runs in parallel with area school calendars.
 
Parent Child+ families meet twice weekly for 30-45 minute with an early learning mentor who shares reading and creative play skills that support child development. 
 
Mentors share reading resources and play skills that support child development and socialization, which help with eventual success in school.
 
ParentChild+ is a free, nationwide mentoring program that helps young children (ages 16 months to 3 years), and their families get ready for the transition to school. Participants in ParentChild+ through CHP Family Services must reside in Southern Berkshire County (Lenox and south). Spanish-language mentors are available as well.
