The Haverstraw King’s Daughters Public Library is taking an innovative step in empowering the younger members of our community with the skills they need to succeed in childcare. The library will host a Babysitting Workshop aimed at teens in grades 7-12, which is not only a great opportunity to learn but also a chance to take on new responsibilities.
Scheduled for Saturday, April 20, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, this workshop is an excellent avenue for our young adults to learn vital skills for the safe and responsible care of children. These skills are not only essential for those looking to babysit but are valuable life lessons that encourage responsibility, awareness, and safety.
Participants are reminded to come prepared with a notebook, pen or pencil, and a bagged lunch and drink, indicating a hands-on, interactive session. The program underscores the importance of being ready and organized, traits exemplary of a good babysitter.
Registration is required for this event, which indicates that the library is anticipating a structured, educational environment with dedicated attention to the attendees. This workshop is a testament to the library’s commitment to community education and youth engagement.
For further details or to register, teens and their guardians can contact the library directly at 845-786-3800. It’s a chance to gain confidence, learn important skills, and perhaps even discover a passion for childcare and education.
The initiative is a reminder of the valuable role libraries play in community education, extending far beyond the books on the shelves to offer real-world skills and learning opportunities. Let’s support our teens as they take this step towards becoming responsible young adults.
