Pete The Cat
A musical based on the popular book series by Kimberly and James Dean. Performed by Theatre USA, based in New York Pete the Cat never loses his cool. Jimmy Biddle never strays from his routine. That is, until the groovy blue cat moves in with The Biddles for the summer. Can cat and boy ever be friends? When Jimmy draws a blank in art class, Pete’s the perfect pal to lead the mission to help Jimmy find his inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on a new adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back again in a VW Bus.

"In this fast-paced video, Dr. Charles Fay takes a humorous look at the trials and tribulations of parenting young children." Charles uses entertaining stories and real-life examples while giving time-tested techniques for:
- Dealing with misbehavior in public
- Handling temper tantrums and melt-downs
- Teaching them to listen the first time you ask
- Taking power-struggles out of bedtime
- Responding to whining, back-talk or arguing
- Turning meals into fun times rather than frantic ones
- How to get them off to daycare, school, etc. without pulling your hair out
- And much more!
Child care will be provided.
A Note From Our Nurses...
Get into good Dental Habits in 2017:
Brush your teeth. Always brush twice a day for two minutes for healthier teeth, good breath and fewer cavities. As a general rule, help your child brush their teeth until he or she is coordinated enough to tie their own shoes. After you allow your child to brush their own teeth, remain involved to make sure he/she is doing a good job.
Rinse your toothbrush after using and store upright in the open air. Keeping a wet toothbrush in a closed container gives germs more of a chance to grow.
Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Choose a soft bristled brush.
Use a toothpaste with the ADA (American Dental Association) seal
Eat a healthy diet. Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks.
Drink fluoridated water. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by making teeth more resistant to the acid attacks that cause cavities.
See your dentist. Regular dental visits will help you be Mouth Healthy for Life.
If you allow your child to chew gum, make sure it is sugar free.
