Preschool Practice and Play is a free, self-guided activity session designed to help young children develop fine motor skills and early literacy through hands-on toys and crafts. This drop-in event is best suited for children ages three to five. You do not need to register in advance, and all craft supplies are provided at no cost. It makes a smart Sunday destination because it offers a structured, educational environment without the pressure of a formal class. Your child can explore the stations at their own pace while you connect with other local parents.
