When does the CloverBuds Club meet?

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month in Bangor during the PVHA4H meetings from 1:00 - 3:30 pm.

What do the CloverBuds do?

The primary goal of the program is to promote children's healthy development; mentally, physically, socially and emotionally.

At 1:00 we begin our meeting by signing in and socializing with friends.  At 1:15 we start our announcements  and say our pledges.   Then it is time to start our activities, which are planned using weekly themes from the CloverBud Curriculum developed by the Ohio State University Extension. There are a variety of stories, games, activities, experiments and crafts revolving around a theme covered that week.  We also have gym time for the kids to exercise and play, and a snack break.
