Jenkintown Day Nursery Reading Program

We’re proud of our decades-long partnership with Jenkintown Day Nursery.

Our members visit the nursery once a month to read to the children and bring stories to life. This program falls under Young Children Priority One (YCPO), an ongoing community service program of Kiwanis International that addresses the needs of children age 0–5, as well as Kiwanis’ Read Around the World program, which focuses on sharing the joy of books with young children.

Recently, we’ve introduced a Book Box at the nursery—restocked regularly through our Book Train Project. Parents are welcome to browse and take home books their children will love, helping to nurture a lifelong love of reading.

Each December, we celebrate the season with a pizza party and a special visit from Santa. This long-standing event was one of our club’s earliest activities. We also bring a gift for each child to take home.
