Ready, Set, Grow - Newborn Kits

Because of a generous pre-kindergarten grant from the Idaho Commission for Libraries, we have a ready-made Grow Kit for newborns and toddlers. These kits have developmental activities and information for parents to keep track of growth and development. There are consumables for parents and books and activities for the little ones. You will also learn about the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program in Kit #1, which helps parents read to their children. A best practice is reading to your child daily; this kit gives some wonderful tips and ideas. Please come check out these Ready, Set, Grow kits! Check out the photos below to see what is available.
