Tiny Tots

The 2010 Tiny Tots program has gotten under way at the Sparta Barney Community Center under the direction of Joanie Blixt.


“The best part is when we color,” added Taylor Lindley-Schendel when asked what her favorite part of the day involved. Children who attend Tiny Tots take part in various activities during their two hours together, which meets every Tuesday and Thursday. “Miss Joanie always sings songs with us and reads books,” offered Lindley-Schendel. Everyday they get to learn a new song and read a different book. “My favorite song is The Itsy Bitsy Spider and I love when Miss Joanie reads Mary Had A Little Lamb,” said Lindley-Schendel.
 
Along with singing and reading, Tiny Tots members get to release some of their energy by having recess time. “Rag ball is a lot of fun!” stated Lindley-Schendel. Youngsters also get time to bring in one of their prized possessions during their Show and Tell time. Lindley-Schendel adds, “They bring horses, purses, dragons, microphones or anything they want.”


Children ages two through five can participate in Tiny Tots for a small fee of $24 for residents or $36 for non-residents, which takes place two times a year. Parents are allowed to sit in with their kids during the sessions to see them interact with one another. If you want more information as to how to sign your child up, stop by at the Sparta Parks and Recreation or visit them online.
