Babies
get a
head
start with
reading

WEST VANCOUVER tabies are
particigzating in a unique program
designed to give them a head start
with reading and developing lIan-
guage skills.

Babytime, held at West Van-
couver Memorial Library, brings
together one- to 18-month-old
babies and their parents or
caregivers for a half-hour program
that introduces the babies to color-
ful picture books, songs,
fingerplays and movement games.

Response to the first Babytime
was ‘*‘overwhelmingly positive’’
said children's department head
Cheryl McGregor.

Nanny Sandra Foster said,
“Babytime was excellent. Rachel
got a real kick out of it. She
especially loved the puppets, the
individual attention and interacting
with the other children.”

At the sessions, nannies and
parents learn songs and nursery
rhymes that they can enjoy with
their baby and discover books that
are very successful with the
youngest children.

“It is never too early to in-
troduce books, songs and word
games to babies. All these activities
stimu.ate the imagination and lay
the foundation for acquiring lan-
guage skills,” said McGregor.

Registration is now being ac-
cepted for the upcoming session.
The program is free. Call 926-3291

There's a time of year in Jasper when the sun is still warm
on your face, the mountains are dancing with colors that seem
to change before your eyes, and the air carries the faintest hint
of the skiing months to come. It's fall in Jasper. A time when the
town is at its best. With lots to see and do — shopping, fine dining,
hiking and more. And with lots of places to stay, from hotels and
