The center’s mission is to help all children in Howard
County be successful when
they enter kindergarten.
We
do this by providing information and ideas for you to try
with your child,
sponsoring
monthly events and providing “take home totes” filled with books,
games, puzzles and other educational toys.
We also work with other
organizations in the community who provide services
for
families with young children

"Totes for Tots"
“Totes for
Tots” are
canvas bags full of items selected specifically for your
child. The tote can be
picked up at our center, delivered to your home, place of work, or where your
child is during the day.
The tote is
loaned to you
for one month. When you
return it, you will receive another tote filled with
more educational fun. The items in the
tote will help
your child learn important concepts
like sounds,
colors,
numbers, eye-hand
coordination, problem solving, sharing, and other valuable
lessons to provide
a
foundation for success in school.
Below are samples of
our bags and their contents
