Furniture is all set up on the Communications floor at LIFT Central Illinois! We can't wait to see students fill these rooms in just 17 days!
The Birth to 3 Program recently held a Gross Motor Blowout family night! They had water play, a ball pit, Little Tikes playground cars, a jello sensory table, and watermelon art.
Birth-3 is the place to be! Our Little Leaders are paving the way to a bright future.
We are loving the look of the Communications floor!
Katrina Farris (Director of Early Childhood) and Tonya Reynolds (Birth-3 Home Visitor) recently completed a two-day training in Safe Travel for all children: Transporting children with special healthcare needs. Both are National Child Passenger Safety Technicians.
