Midland College to Host Baby Day Celebration on April 18March 31, 2026
 Midland College’s Helen L. Greathouse Children's Center will host Baby Day on Saturday,
April 18, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Pre-K Academy, welcoming families from across
the Permian Basin for a morning dedicated to celebrating the earliest and most important
years of a child’s life.
The free, family-friendly event will feature a wide range of hands-on activities and
interactive stations designed to support early childhood development, including sensory
play, storytelling, movement, and music. Activities such as Bonding Beats, Building
Blocks, Tiny Tales, Animal Safari, Sensory ABCs, Baby Yoga and more will provide engaging
opportunities for babies and caregivers to learn and play together.
In addition to activities, attendees will have access to valuable resources and information
from Midland College programs and community partners, including healthcare providers,
early childhood educators, and family support organizations. Presentations and demonstrations
throughout the morning will offer practical insights into nurturing healthy development
during a child’s earliest years.
Held in partnership with First3Years, Baby Day is the only statewide celebration focused
on the critical first three years of development. The event brings together caregivers,
educators, and community partners to highlight the powerful role early experiences
play in shaping a child’s future.
“Baby Day is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect, learn, and engage with
their children in meaningful ways,” said Shelly Haney, Associate Vice President of
Early Childhood and Dean of Education at Midland College. “The first three years of
life are foundational for brain development, and events like this help empower caregivers
with the tools, resources, and confidence to support their child’s growth from the
very beginning.”
Baby Day reflects Midland College’s deep commitment to serving families and strengthening
the community through education. By supporting early childhood development, the college
continues to invest in the long-term success of the Permian Basin, starting with its
youngest learners.
Families are encouraged to attend and take part in this special celebration of growth,
connection, and possibility.
