About Our Children’s Programs

We offer programming for children of all ages from birth to 11. Families are welcome to join us for early childhood programs like Music and Movement and Baby Rhyme Time which support early learning for your little ones. Children ages 6 to 11 are welcome to join us for STEAM activities all throughout the month to learn new concepts and make observations.
