Cradle School


Okay, so I JUST found out about this program offered by Family Service Society. It is for children birth to 5 years old and apparently open to all Grant County residents. They meet every Tuesday thru-out the summer and various locations. Our 1st "meeting" was at Matter Park. The kids got to play, make a couple cute crafts, have snack then head home....lasted maybe an hour.

The next Tuesday was a trip to the FIRE STATION!!! How cool is that???? Here are some pics of Joseph and Anna. Although Anna is technically too old, siblings are permitted to attend...we would have to pay for them if there was an admission fee to any of our outings. BUT...Mom, Dad and child are FREE...totally free!! :D


This is our Cradle School group. These are some of the fireman who took time out of their day to give us our tour. They really made the kids feel special. They all just seemed so excited to show us how everything worked and they were really patient with the kids, letting them try things out! Very impressed with these firemen!! Thanks a bunch Fire Station 1.

All the kiddos got to spray the fire hose...
I thought they should be spraying the passing cars! :)




Watch for our next field trip to the Marion Airport!
