February was a busy month for The Arc of Essex County’s children’s programming, with opportunities for toddlers, children, and teens to have fun and educational experiences together:

• Children’s Respite enjoyed a shopping trip as part of their money management curriculum, as well as a bowling trip together
• Communi-Play provided engaging and musical communication lessons for our 2.5- to 5-year-olds, with sessions on February 1 and 15
• Parents’ Night Out on February 15 featured group games and play-doh making for children and teens
• Art & Play gave children ages 2.5 to 5 the chance to create together at Studio Arc while building socialization skills on February 22
• The new social skills classes continue for children and teens every Tuesday in Maplewood
• GameU teen registrants finished their five-week curriculum and created a game to play and share with friends
