designed for parents and their children ages 6 months to 3rd grade. At the block party stations, you'll explore early math and science skills together with your child. At the nature stations, children will do hands-on activities that stimulate their curiosity and understanding of the world around them. Other actitivies include music and a playground.
Food from local restaurants will be provided at no charge to participating families. The event launches Parent University, a new program that offers child development and parenting information along with family and community engagement.
