Our mission is to enrich the lives of families with

parenting education opportunities, drop-in play center, arts and crafts
programs, holiday celebrations, civic activities in town, coffee get-togethers
for moms, babysitters, parent panels on preparing for kindergarten, tips on
kid-friendly places to eat, shop and visit, and most of all, lots of FUN!
