Partners In Play

Coconut Telegraph

In September, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens will embark on a new school-year partnership with Forty Carrots Family Center. One Saturday a month, Forty Carrots will bring their “Partners In Play” program to the Ann Goldstein Children’s Rainforest Garden. “Partners In Play” is a parenting education program that provides parents with support and information about early childhood development, while creating an enriching learning environment for children. The sessions held at Selby Gardens will be garden-themed. They will give children and their parents a chance to explore the rainforest garden and learn about the environment.  “Exposing families to hands-on activities at Selby Gardens is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn and engage their senses,” said Christina Rodrigues, Forty Carrots Parenting Program Director. “The gardens offer a delightful, natural space for discovery, where parents and children can play together with the support of Parenting Educators.”
