South Parkland Healthy Child Coalition is set to host a Preschool Wellness Fair tomorrow, March 20th, at the Dauphin Marketplace Mall.
Kathy Cyr, Coordinator, said the Healthy Child Coalition's goal is to help families and young children in the community with a variety of things.
"Our mandate really is to help familes with young children, 0 to 6, in a few areas such as positive parenting, nutrition and physical health, learning and literacy, and some community capacity building...mostly what we try and do is programming for families with children that are under 6 so that parents can get out with their children and have some experiences based on those areas," said Cyr.
The Wellness Fair is designed to have information and resources for families and infants. Attending groups include Dauphin Library, Mountain View School Division, and Dauphin Friendship Centre.
"The Wellness Fair is really toget information to parents, and so we have 15 booths," said Cyr.
The event is designed for children from 0 to 6 and their families, with 3 year old screenings also available. Kids are encouraged to bring stuffed animals for a check-up as well.
The Preschool Wellness Fair takes place at the Dauphin Marketplace Mall from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM tomorrow. For more information about the fair and groups attending, click here to visit the South Parkland Healthy Child Coalition's Facebook page.
