Local Resources: NIM's Early Learning Resource Room

This post is the first in a series about local resources serving families with children in the GAP area.  (If you have a resource you'd like to see highlighted, please contact us).  

Northwest Interfaith Movement hosts a wide range of services for families and children, but the Early Learning Resource Room recently relocated in Mt. Airy is a treasure for families looking to keep things fresh and interesting.

You can think of the Resource Room as library of TOYS!  You can select themed "kits" on everything from dinosaurs to rock collecting to monkeys jumping on the bed.  Kits can be taken out for up to 4 weeks at a time, and you borrow multiple kits at once.   In addition to the themed kits, there are age-appropriate bins for infants through kindergartners, as well as gross-motor materials like rainbow parachutes.  The resource room also has tons of wonderful children's books, big books, and videos.  There are also informational parenting books and great big idea books.  They also have a lamination, die-cut, book binding, & art waxing machines... wonderful for creating durable projects and decorations!

Annual membership is $25.00 per individual/family.
