Little Sprouts Tutoring
Helping your child learn and grow
Is your child struggling with school? Do you want to ensure early literacy skills are captured? Britt Arvidson is your lady--cheerful, knowledgeable and effective; and if her personality doesn’t win you and your child over immediately (which it will) her teaching skills will have you wishing you sought her help sooner. Britt comes prepared to teach, incentive programs ready to motivate any child and strategies for success clearly outlined. But don’t let all this prep and professionalism lead you to believe she will bore your child—in fact, you’ll find the opposite. Your child will delight in Miss Britt coming to tutor because she makes learning fun. And for younger kids just starting their lifelong journey of knowledge, isn’t that what you want their first impressions of learning to be? Britt is an Elementary Education graduate of Purdue University and has over 15 years of experience working with children. She tutors children in her certification area of pre-k-5th , all subjects, with an emphasis on reading readiness for pre-k and kindergarten. Currently servicing South Tampa, visit www.littlesproutstutoring.com for pricing and to contact Britt.
Centre for Girls
A safe place for girls
Pay attention subscribers; The Centre for Girls needs our help! The Centre for Girls is a free, after-school (all day during the summer) program that assists 10-18 year old girls transition into healthy, able women. More than 75% of the girls in this program come from low-income families and would most likely be home alone if not for the Centre. Staffed by counseling professionals, The Centre for Girls guides girls to make healthy life choices, resolve self-esteem issues and learn effective communication tools. How we can help: The Centre for Girls operates a “snack store” which strives to provide low-cost, healthy food options for the girls. The Centre is looking to secure donations of foods for the store, the small profits of which go directly to purchase refreshments for the Centre’s monthly Family Night and cooking classes for the girls. The Centre opens at 8 am and is located at: 105 W. Sligh Avenue, Tampa, 33604 (near the corner of Florida and Sligh, entrance on Sligh Ave.) Phone: 813-231-3404. Please mention Baby News Bits when donating so they know food came from safe donors. Items most needed (in individual serving sizes): baked snacks, fresh fruit (grapes, apples, bananas are favorites) individually packaged servings of cheese, '100 calorie' packs of any snack food such as cookies & crackers, bottled water, crystal lite water flavoring packets, fruit cups and applesauce, boxed milk, muffins and pastries, bottled juices (real fruit juices such as apple and orange are best) & Little Debbie 100 calorie items.
