Bend, Ore. – On April 11, 2015 – Corresponding with The Week of the Young Child, Healthy Beginnings will be hosting its 2nd Annual Early Childhood Resource Fair at St. Charles Conference Center in Bend from 9am-1pm.
During the Fair, Healthy Beginnings will be administering our customized screening to visiting families called “4 b4 5”. Created last year to provide needed service to children in pre-schools and daycare facilities who cannot attend a community screening, a 4 b4 5 screening provides children 0-5 years of age with high quality assessments on 4 health essentials: Vision, Hearing, Child Development and Behavior. These assessments have been identified as key to helping children enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
This Early Childhood Resource Fair is a one-stop-shop for parents seeking resources for raising healthy active young children. There are a limited number of vendor slots remaining.
All parents of the young child (ages 0-5 years old) are invited to attend. Call Healthy Beginnings at (541) 383-6357 for information about this event or visit the program’s website at www.myhb.org. Community screening dates and volunteer opportunities are also listed on the program’s website.
