La P'tite Pasto: Parent-Child activity 3-7 years at Saint-Félix-de-Cap-Rouge

"La P'tite Pasto" 

PARENT-CHILD activity for 3-7 years at Saint-Félix-de-Cap-Rouge (siblings are welcome)

From September 2013, the Sainte-Félix Parish will be pleased to offer a new course for the younger ones. The family is the place par excellence to convey the basics of the faith to children. Since most of the child-care and schools removed any religious teaching since 2008, parents who wish to actively participate in the awakening to the faith of their toddlers are now turning to the community to find the tools to do this, and this is the mission of La P'tite Pasto.

At La P'tite Pasto, we want above all have fun! Songs, drawings, crafts, stories, games and puppets can explore various topics in the life of toddlers: Hello! What is your name? - Thanks for everything! - My family, I love it! - I am a beautiful treasure box! - Cheers guys! - It's Christmas!

The child discovers the wonders of family, nature, friendship and is gently introduced to the presence of God and the great Christian values​​, all in a language appropriate to their age and in an atmosphere of fun! They must be accompanied by an adult mean (parent, grandparent, or other).

The activity is run by parents and volunteers: if you want to get involved, call me!

For more information about the schedule and registration details, phone:
Anne-Laure Castelli at (418) 877-8574.

An interesting article on learning music from a young age... "Starting piano or violin lessons before the age of seven appears to cause permanent changes to the brain that are linked to better motor skills. Those changes in brain development don't occur in people who learn to play an instrument when they are older, a new study has found..." to read more of the article from CBC news, click here ... Music lessons before age 7 boost brain link
