Outdoor Play Time - CANCELLED DUE TO HEAT

Due to extreme heat, this program will not take place. Weather permitting, we will have some outdoor fun after the Dance Party on July 25.

It's time to play on the lawn outside the Barrett Children's Room. Lots of bubble toys, sidewalk chalk, a pond full of rubber ducks and sailboats, and more active fun for children ages 2+.
