Week Calendar

Join us every week for Tots Thursdays! Each week is filled with exciting activities designed to stimulate your child’s development while having a blast! Every month, we rotate through four themes:

Making crafts to let the creative spirit flow.

Join us for Preschool Paint & Play, a program where preschoolers can unleash their imagination! In each program we will explore a different art medium, allowing children to explore their creativity while getting a little messy.
