Join our free facilitated pop-up sessions

The first 6 years of a child's life are crucial for their future development. Parenting in the early years can be challenging for parents and caregivers, but we can help! We invite parents and caregivers of children ages 0–6 to join us for free pop-up sessions where we'll learn, converse, and connect in a warm, safe, and relaxed environment.

In these 1-hour workshops, families will learn about a relevant early years topic facilitated by our Family Navigator and engage in meaningful conversations—all while enjoying quality playtime with their little ones.
