Join us for a FREE
pediatric vision screening!
On Tuesday, January 26th, trained screeners will be in our Family Resource Center to provide FREE pediatric vision screenings. Each screening takes only five minutes to complete and can provide valuable information about a child's vision system, allowing for early intervention if needed.
​
All volunteers have been trained in the use of the SPOT vision screening device, which can detect five common risk factors of vision issues in patients as young as six months old. This camera-sized device requires just one second of focus from a child’s eyes to “take a picture”. Parents are always present while a volunteer sits three to five feet away to use the SPOT.

The Vision Team is made up of Lions Club members, staff and volunteers for Audio Reader, and alumane members of the Delta Gamma sorority. Each of these non-profit organizations promotes vision conservation and supports those who are visually impaired.
Grow and Go is a community-wide collaboration to provide young children with diverse ways of playing and learning.
Each one-hour playgroup will highlight an activity or showcase an early childhood professional, giving little ones and their caregivers the freedom to explore and interact.
Caregivers will leave with ideas to enrich their child's day and resources to tap into, all of which are powerful pieces of the early childhood journey.
Grow & Go takes place in the Community Children's Center building at 346 Maine St. in the Family Resource Center.
No sign-up is necessary to attend, and all sessions are free. You can sign up for our mailer below if you want more information on Grow and Go dates. We look forward to seeing you there!
