Children are born mathematicians and practice it in their daily lives. Just ask any toddler which plate of cookies has more, and you’ll see.

Join expert veteran educator of 40-plus years Diane Marcoux-Laclair as she leads parents and caregivers through a fun, multi-sensory, playful, two-session workshop series about play-based, developmentally appropriate, mathematics for children — preschoolers through kindergarten, on two consecutive Tuesdays, Oct. 17 and 24, 6-7:30 p.m. at the Lamoille Family Center.

The workshops use play to teach, not only because it’s enjoyable but because for children play is all about thinking, discovery, creativity and learning. Every participant will be entered into a raffle to receive a free, unusually practical, gift-bag of teaching materials to use at home with their own children. Space is limited; register at lamoillefamilycenter.org. For information about free child care, call 802-888-5229.
