East End Family Explorer 🧭 January 5-11

Jan 4

As backpacks come back out, lunch bags get dusted off, and alarms start buzzing again, this week marks that familiar return to school, work, and daycare.

The calendar is beginning to fill back up with many of the familiar drop-ins and programs you know and love.

As always, programs may still be settling into their regular rhythm, so it’s a good idea to double-check details before heading out. Wishing you and your family a smooth, successful first week back: whether that means classrooms, offices, or daycare drop-offs. We’re so glad to be heading into the new year with you and this community.

EAST END MOM FRIENDS

❄️ Playgroups start this week
