Teachers say that the skills that lead to the most student success in school are their social and emotional skills. Join us to help develop these skills, as well as STEM, art, and literacy practice, all while children play! This supervised hour of fun provides a large space for children to meet and play with our outdoor play equipment, weather permitting. Please dress children for the weather.  This program is designed to ease the transition to daycare, preschool, and especially kindergarten.

Registration is preferred for our group programs. Drop-ins will only be accommodated as space is available.

Please stay home if you or participating children are sick.
