Bridges to Growth
Bridges To Growth Resource Center offers a free
library that circulates childrens toys, games, puzzles, music, books,
and other materials that are not only fun, but also aid children in their
learning and development.
Opened in December of 1999, this resource center has
already had over 15,000 visits from parents, grandparents, teachers, both
pre-school and public school, mentors, and childcare providers who use the free
toy lending and resource library or attend training. BTG also provides a
workroom, complete with laminator, die-cuts and copier for daycare workers, and
offers a full calendar of workshops for childcare providers, bilingual parent
education classes, and fun age appropriate pre-school activities that improve
parent-child communication skills and boost school readiness. The first
campus-based BTG opened recently inside
Williams
Elementary School,
a local 3-5th campus serving approximately 65% low income students.
Bridges To Growth Resource Center is
located at 605 E. University, Georgetown, Texas. (This is the building on
stilts next to Williams Elementary School.)
New Hours Beginning February 3
Beginning Tuesday, February 3, Bridges to Growth Resource Center
will go to extended evening hours for those patrons who work. Our new hours will
be Tuesdays 12:30 - 7:00 P.M. and Wednesdays 9:00 A.M. - 7:00 P.M. We will be
closed on Thursdays.
Added Location for Lending Library
Services:
Beginning immediately, we have extended the lending library services by adding
the Williams School location. This means that you are able to borrow materials
from either The Williams or Community Resource Center locations.
Available
resources (click here). The hours of
operation for the Williams Center are Tuesdays and Fridays, 10 A.M. -
2 P.M. The Williams location has more bilingual English/Spanish materials than
the Community Resource Center location. They also have all the same type of toys
and you do not have to have children in Williams to use the Williams Bridges to
Growth Center. It is located in Room 11; please sign-in at the school office
each time you visit. Laminating and die cut services are not available at
Williams, but are available at the Community Resource Center during our regular
hours of operation only.
