September Parent Connection News
New and exciting events added this year!
What is the Parent Connection?
The Parent Connection is a division of Bright Beginnings Christan Preschool Our goal is to provide support and enrichment opportunities to families.
Here are a few of the things that we do:
Table Talk– Educational and informal gatherings to discuss relevant topics facing today’s families. These will take place once a month on (usually) the third Tuesday of the month, with a few exceptions. Childcare is available. If you would like to dive deeper into the topic of discussion, we will be offering select studies taking place on Tuesdays at noon. Please RSVP to Becky Frost if you will be attending.
Childcare for parties and field trips - Let us know if you need childcare while you are volunteering for your preschooler's party or field trip.
Parents with a Purpose - Gather with fellow parents to make a difference! Whether it be stocking shelves at the Springboro Community Assistance Center, or making Valentines for Veterans. Let's work together to serve God in various ways in our community!
New baby welcome – A new child is a blessing and we love to celebrate that at Bright Beginnings.
Prayer requests – Matthew 18:20 ”For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Let us know how the Bright Beginnings family can pray for you.
Family Needs – Whether it’s a new baby, sickness, or any other life event, sometimes we all need a little extra help.
