Alternative Arrangements for School Days Off
Speaking of fun events offered by the Darien YMCA (see post below), with the school holiday (Rosh Hashanah) coming up Tuesday, it might be helpful to know that for those of you who do not celebrate the holiday there is a way to still keep the kids occupied in a fun and constructive way …
Vacation Camp is available at the Darien YMCA during most Darien Public School holidays. Offered for 3 year olds thru 5th graders. 1/2 day (9 – 1 p.m.) & full day programs available, as well as extended care. Activities include swimming, crafts, gym, outside play, theme days, special field trips and more.
How cool is that? As a working mom myself, this is SUCH a great program to know about. Hope it’s a helpful tip!
Also, don’t forget about the JOBS Office at the Darien High School as another resource for finding a babysitter for school days off.
