Blue Ridge Partnership for Children

Mamas need each other.

Being with other moms when you are a new mom or expecting to be a mom can provide such grounding and validation. Who better to understand you or offer support when you need it? Let's boost mental health and have a fun, nourishing time, together!

Blue Ridge Play & Learn in September!

What is one of your favorite books?!?

I think Felicia and I could do this theme all year and not run out of favorites! But we will start with a month! Bring one of your favorites to show and tell during snack time!

~see you at Play and Learn!

Do you know what Ms. Dolly Parton says in her beautiful letter to children who age out of the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library? She encourages them to visit their local public library to check out more books. We love our local public libraries in our region. They also provide the spaces for our Blue Ridge Play & Learn classes. Remember, when encouraging children to read, please visit our community partners, too. Dolly knew how to connect us! 💗🦋📚

Upcoming Story Time Themes. This week Pigs to the Rescue!
