healthy-beginning-test

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.

If you see local news happen, call the Horizon Broadcasting Group News Tip Hotline at 541-323-NEWS, or email us.
