The breakfast was one of two events planned this week commemorating "The Week of The Young Child."
On Friday, parents and children enrolled in the center are invited to Spring Fest from 5 to 7 p.m. The annual celebration is sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the world's largest early childhood education association with more than 100,000 members in 300 locations.
Established in spring 2003, the center currently serves 94 children and is enrolling children from a waiting list for the summer and fall semesters. Interested parents can place their child on the waiting list at the Child Development Center Web site.
