Three year olds were the stars of the show Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. They were attending the annual 3 Year Old Round Up event and many little citizens participated with their parents and caregivers.
Organized by the School District 27 and the Early Childhood Development Network Williams Lake with many child development agencies on site. Each child attending was given a free book from Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy as they entered the Gibraltar Room as well as healthy snacks.
Jordan Jones is a vision therapist at Williams Lake Optometry, where she has worked for five years.
She had a table with information for caregivers and a fall leaf craft project for children.
As a vision therapist, Jones works with post injury clients and said 20/20 vision is only one of 17 skills that people need in their daily lives.
Megan Hillier, Aboriginal Supported Child Development with Pregnancy Outreach, had an array of different ducks to sort by colour.
Raelynn Sales, 3, was enjoying the activity.
Everyone attending the round up was given a list of contacts should they have any questions or concerns about a child’s development.
A total of 22 service provider staff, 38 adults and 38 children participated in the event.
