Wee Build Open Play
Hands-on learning builds strong brains! For babies through age 6. No registration needed. Just drop in between 9:30 am and 12:00 Noon on Fridays for open play and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) building activities and imaginative play.
WEE BUILD
Come build with us! Through play, your child discovers shapes, learns how blocks can be balanced, observes how they fall, and discovers what fits together. These playful explorations are the foundation of later mathematical and scientific thinking – plus it's fun!
