Preschoolers have fun playing with building blocks, tricycle and more, at the Southern Columbia Family Center in Numidia during Tuesday and Friday playgroups.

NUMIDIA - Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble will provide dramatic dress up on Fridays in November at the Southern Columbia Area Family Center.

Nina Winter, education director of the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble, will bring a trunk full of dress-up pieces each Friday in November. The trunk will contain hats, shoes, cloaks and many other items for the preschool-age children to wear for a dramatic dress up.

Winter will coordinate 20 minutes of structured dress up and play activities. The program is not just for girls, as the trunk will hold pieces that will be exciting for boys to participate in the dramatic dress-up.

The program provides socialization activities for children birth to 5 years. Children have the opportunity to play with peers using many preschool-appropriate toys.

Parents have the opportunity to meet with other parents and share reasonable expectations for their children at any age of development. The center also provides time for parents to play with their children or read together. The center even offers a lending library.

For more information about the Southern Columbia Area Family Center activities, contact Jayme Toczylousky, 356-3512, or Dana Carroll-Lucas, 356-3514. The center can be reached during operation hours at 799-5394.

The Southern Columbia Family Center operates from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, and is open to all Southern Columbia Area School District families.

The SCA Family Center is located at 1082 Numidia Drive, or the rear of Lincoln Investments.

The center is funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant, Columbia County Family Centers, Communities that Care and Southern Columbia Area School District.
