WHALE
Sheila Arnold works at the Building Block Day Care Center and when they were going to have their open house, this gave her the opportunity to pass out some of the WHALE kits to the parents. I went down to take a few pictures for the blog and scrapbook and Sheila had set up a small display for the information. I ended up helping out a little while she was talking with parents in the other room, by giving some kits out to parents as they passed by me. I was amazed as to the number of small kids who could use this program. The parents who I was able to talk to and give them a kit were happy to receive one. One parent definitely wanted this and thought all hopes of getting another kit like this was not going to happen. She changed infant chairs and lost the data as it could not be transferred to the new chair. This tells me that the flyer that Sheila and Dale came up with will come in handy for those who received a kit and will now have some one to contact for the future. Great Job Sheila and great job to the member(s) who helped bring this to the club.
As parents sat with their kids, it gave us an opportunity to let them know how the WHALE kit would benefit them and of course many were amazed with idea. One parent was so excited that she was able to get the WHALE kit as she had to change Car seats and didn't have the information for the new one. She went to Kids r US and they did not have anything like this to offer. We are very fortunate to have been able to give them what they really needed.
This little one was wandering around comfortably among the parents that I tried to get his photo. But he knew what I wanted and turned every time he giggled. It is kids like this that the WHALE program is made for.
