Holy Family children’s center hosts vehicle exploration expo, Sunday

Holy Family Children’s Center (HFCC) is hosting a vehicle exploration exposition to benefit its Healthy Lifestyle Nutrition Program. This event is recommended for children of all ages and open to the public:

Sunday, September 14, 2008
Shoreline Station
Highway 1 & Kelly Avenue
Half Moon Bay
2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. 

Admission is $10 per person or $25 per family

The exposition will include an afternoon of exploring vehicles of various types including:  farming, construction, emergency, recreation, and watercraft.  Just a few of the vehicles present will include: police car, ambulance, dump truck, Harley motorcycle, tractor, sailboat, and more.  A representative will be on hand to discuss what the vehicle is, what it does and why it is needed in our community.  The children will be allowed to climb in, on and around each vehicle. 

This event is being presented by HFCC as an extension of its recent study of transportation.  The preschool children at HFCC are taught in a play-based environment based on the teachings of Emilio Reggio.  In this approach, the children learn through all their senses.  Through the exploration of the vehicles, the children will enhance their knowledge of each vehicle and bring their lessons to life. 

All proceeds from this event will fund HFCC’s Nutrition Program which promotes eating mostly organic foods and living a physical and healthy lifestyle.  The school is in the process of creating an organic garden where the children will help plant, tend, harvest, and eat the fruits—and vegetables—of their labor and learn how their bodies and the environment are linked.
