Summer Play & Learn
Starting the week of June 12th we will have our weekly Summer Play & Learns! Each week we will have a story, craft and time for free play with peers. The activities are geared towards kids 0-8, but older siblings are welcome to join! This year we have added MOM Power topics for parents- a curriculum centered around connecting with your child's needs while also taking care of your own!
