Kids maker space

Join us in the MakerSpot!:

Update as of Sep 2024: Classes are currently on pause and will return in late fall/early winter. Stay tuned!

Enjoy a drop-in maker's space where kids work together with their grown-ups to tinker, make, and design using an ever-changing collection of materials. Use the space as an open studio or try a guided design prompt.

Free with admission (but space is limited) Fridays from 10am-1pm in the back classroom
Open to all ages!

Play IS learning! Play matters.

Nurturing expression, early development, and life-long well-being!
