Touch a Truck Day

CFN/School Readiness is sponsoring a Truck Day event at the Three Rivers Community College, Mohegan Campus, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Fun activities and an array of LARGE trucks, tractors, and backhoes will be on hand to captivate young children and families.  It will cost $5.00 a family.

In addition to offering tons of fun, CFN/SR will showcase our area childcare centers and the many services that they provide. We will be on hand to provide valuable information for parents who are preparing their children for school. National research clearly demonstrates that quality early care and education programs have a significant positive affect on the future growth and development of young children and the level of success they achieve in life.

There are several ways to participate in this fun and informative day. Click Below to download an entry form.
