The Junior League of Asheville (JLA) is proud to announce the creation of the Junior League of Asheville Educational Learning Playroom at ABCCM’s Steadfast House.
The
JLA Educational Learning Playroom will serve as a place of educational support
and camaraderie for the children living at Steadfast House. Cosmetic
improvements to the room begin September 2015 and the Junior League of
Asheville expects the room to be functional beginning in November 2015. The
space will be completely furnished by the Junior League of Asheville including
educational toys, games, books, puzzles, and arts and craft supplies.
The
Community Projects Outreach Committee (CPOC) of the Junior League of
Asheville’s Community Council will also develop lesson plans for volunteers to
use in the space. Lessons will vary in theme based on important aspects of
childhood development including physical development, social and emotional
development, general knowledge literacy, and communication skills. The lesson
plans will be packaged with instruction so that Junior League of Asheville and community
volunteers can easily implement them in the space.
Community
Council Vice President Lauren Woodard looks forward to seeing the Junior League
of Asheville Educational Learning Playroom at Steadfast House come to life over
the next few months; “ We are thrilled to provide the Steadfast House with a
playroom where parents and children can spend quality time together engaging in
activities that are both educational and fun. Our membership is excited
to not only furnish the space with classroom furniture and educational toys and
games, but to also have the opportunity to come back and teach lessons in the
space and develop ongoing relationships with the families that live at
Steadfast House."
