Celebrate Dia de los Ninos and the importance of literacy for children of all backgrounds as a volunteer at CentroNia. We invite you into our classrooms to experience the joy of reading with CentroNia early learners. You can bring a children's book of your choice (Spanish or English) to read to a class, or we can provide one for you. The best way to experience the magic of early childhood education at CentroNia is to join us as a volunteer and meet the early learners and their families as they are learning and growing in a multicultural, bilingual community.
About Dia de los Ninos:
"El Dia de los Ninos-Celebrating Young Americans is a gift from the Latino community to all children. Many nations throughout the world, and especially within the Western hemisphere celebrate "Dia de los Ninos" on April 30th to honor and celebrate children-who represent the hopes and dreams of every community." - excerpt from National Latino Children's Institute website
