closer relationships with other parents and staff members at
the school.

Lakewood Early Childhood PTA is a wonderful
organization for families with little ones in Lakewood.
With playgroups, field trips, and community programming,
LECPTA has given me the opportunity to meet new friends
and be part of something wonderful for Lakewood families.
Lakewood has so much to offer residents and LECPTA has so
much to offer families. The dynamic duo!
