Block Party

Block party is an open-ended playtime for young children and their families. Playing is how children learn about themselves and the world. Through play, children develop their imagination and learn creativity. When children act out stories, they learn to communicate and engage with others.

 

Block Party usually takes place on the first and second Thursday of each month. Drop in to play anytime between 10:00 and 11:30 am. Be sure to check our calendar to confirm dates and see if we have any extra activities planned!

We often take pictures and videos at our events. Here's why.

Conflict Resolution & Trust

Children learn to navigate disagreements, compromise, and trust others to work toward a common goal.
