Each month we explore a different social-emotional topic or growing-up milestone through picture books, discussion, and activities which are appropriate and accessible to young children. Caregivers go home with a list of further resources and the confidence to continue teaching empathy. In May, we will be discussing museums. We will read picture books about what museums are, their importance, museum etiquette, and how to support them. All registered participants who attend will receive a free children’s book on museums. Register below.

Try your hand at pottery! Pinch those pots! Make those vases! Compete for the title of ultimate sculptor extraordinaire and prizes! Similar to the British tv show, contestants will compete to complete a pottery challenge. At the end of the program, projects will be judged on overall functionality and appearance. Prizes will go to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

Free and open to all in grades 5-12. Registration is required.
