Newborns in Perth and Huron Counties will be getting a new gift starting this weekend.
It’s called a “Read to Baby” bundle.
The new program has been made possible by KidsFirst Huron Perth and the Foundation for Education Perth Huron.
The bundle consists of a baby book, a specially designed booklet of rhymes, songs and developmental milestones and a complete list of service and support agencies.
Roughly 1300 babies are born in the two counties each year.
The Read to Baby bundles will help start them off on a path of good literacy skills.
You can find more information about the program at Foundation For Education Dot C-A.
