June is almost here and summer programming is gearing up- please join us!
Special Events:
Wednesday, June 7 @ 10:30 AM: Big Ryan’s Toddler Show. Big Ryan's toddler programs focus on puppet play, music, and movement.

Thursday, June 8- Thursday, June 22: Search and Find the Sun. Kids ages 3-12 are invited to search the children's room to find a paper sun with a number written on it.

Dress A Girl provides hand-sewn dresses to young girls in need in the US and around the world. At this workshop, we will be creating dress kits for future sewing workshops.
