Spring Cleaning? Put it Towards a Good Cause! |
This summer, we are hosting our Community Garage Sale event! If you have any gently-used items you no longer need, we would love if you consider donating them this summer. In doing so, you will help us raise money for youth scholarships! All items donated to the garage sale will be free (we just ask for a $10 donation at the door for any community members attending the event).

Around Community Education |
|
|
|
In our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program, every song and activity is designed with purpose. While children build fine motor skills and confidence, parents transition into their own learning space to discuss everything from child development to temperament with a licensed Parent Educator. Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at a typical day in one of our ECFE classrooms!
Interested in joining our ECFE community next year? 2026-27 ECFE registration goes live on Eleyo on April 29 at 10 am!
