Hey, Bloomington parents, it's time to get schooled before your bundle of joy arrives! Parents and caregivers in the market for baby know-how are in luck, the city's got you covered with a free baby resource fair. Set for May 4 at the Pond Early Learning Center, the fair is a collaboration between The City and Bloomington Public Schools’ Early Learning Services, promising an afternoon of education and giveaways.
You can catch up on everything from baby CPR to how to pick the best daycare for your little one — and it's all free of charge. The event, running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., is open to those expecting or with infants up to 12 months old. Alongside educational sessions, the fair promises door prize drawings, giveaways, and, for those peckish attendees, some refreshments.
"This event is needed, but it hasn’t been a common thing. I am so glad Bloomington is making this happen and focusing on young kids," one Bloomington parent praised the initiative in last year's event, the city of Bloomington reported. Their statement, snagged by the folks behind the BloomingtonMN.gov website, underlines the community's appreciation for the fair's focus on the formative early stages of childhood.
