-Extra clothes, including socks and mittens, are essential in cooler months.
-We will provide a small list of recommended outerwear before each season begins.

Program Growth
As our community grows, we plan to welcome additional educators and expand offerings to include parent/tot programs, homeschool gatherings, and handwork circles. Families who join early sessions will have priority for these future programs.
