Saturday, January 31st, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Families of young children are invited to learn about Wallingford’s Preschools, Licensed Childcare Centers, Family Childcare and Town Services available for our preschool population.

Choosing the right setting that offers quality programming, age appropriate instruction and a caring environment is every parent’s goal. Come to the Fair and meet the people who provide them! This is your chance to come to one location and ask all the questions you have about different child care and child education offerings. With the information you gather you will be positioned to make the best choices for your child.

As an added bonus you will be able to learn about the opportunities provided for young children by a variety of Wallingford agencies. No registration required.
