THE OAKVILLE BEAVERWednesday, August 11, 1999 Plan now for Fall classes with tfjj3 informative guide*?*, presented by# ' * f/ti? Oakville B eaver A meeting place for parents and children ADVERTISING FEATURE September is just around the comer and as the kids head back to school, it's time to call the Oakville Parent-Child Centre for its new brochure for the 1999/2000 program year. The Oakville Parent-Child Centre offers par­ enting programs for new and experienced parents, workshops, children's programs, drop-in services, and much more. The OPCC encourages indepen­ dence, nourishes creativity, builds confidence (for big people as well as little people), provides an opportunity for parents to meet other parents, and kids to meet kids. All in all, it's a pretty fun place to spend time. New programs this fall include 'Tickles and Tales" N a fun-filled hour of baby games, music, rhymes, and stories for parents and babies, new­ born to 16 months. This program is offered in partnership with the Oakville Public Library. The centre has also forged a new partnership with the Church of the Incarnation and, this fall, we will be opening our third location in this newly built church located at Old Abbey Lane and Dorval Drive. This partnership will allow us to reach out to a new neighbourhood of families and provide a "gathering place" where parents can build friendships, share information, and where the coffee is always on. We will also be expanding our nursery school program "Discovery Station" to this Glen Abbey site and if you would like to join us, call today for a registration package. We hope that you will give us a call at 849- 6366 for more information on all the programs and services offered by the Oakville Parent-Child Centre or drop by for a visit at our main location, 337 Kerr Street. The Oakville Parent-Child Centre is a regis­ tered charitable organization and a member agency of the United Way of Oakville.

(Children under 10 should cross with the assistance of a grown-up). • No pushing or shoving anyone when lining up or playing on school grounds. • At lunch time, stay seated while eat­ ing; no running or playing. • Never accept medicine, vitamins, candy or other food from anyone other than your parent or caregiver. • When the fire alarm sounds, stop what you are doing and immediately exit the school.
