Join colleagues from across Calderdale for an inspiring morning of learning, sharing and celebration.
Our partners at Family Hubs Calderdale are celebrating Calderdale's fourth year of Baby Week and are inviting professionals and volunteers who work with babies, young children and their families to a special event.
Aligned with the ambitions of the National Year of Reading, the event will explore how everyday interactions, such as sharing stories and songs, chatting and playing together, help build the foundations for positive relationships, wellbeing, language, literacy and learning.
If you work or volunteer with babies, young children and families in Calderdale, we'd encourage you to attend.
