Creative Kids Night (Geared for Preschoolers age 3 1/2-6 years old WITHOUT a parent.)
Looking for a fun night for your child and a little time for yourself? Creative Kids Night is a drop-off class for ages 3½–6, where kids enjoy crafts, games, stories, and activities in a safe, welcoming space while making friends and sparking creativity.
