Please join us for a fun family night out!
Doors open at 5:00pm for a pre-show opportunity to interact with Buzz and Woody from Toy Story.
At 5:30pm we will screen the new Disney movie Toy Story 5.
The screening will be followed by 30-40 minutes of activities for the adults and children alike.
The adults will converse with a Digital Wellness expert about the impact of the movie and will also take part in an activity to help jumpstart Summer with a "thoughtful" perspective on tech.
The children will have a mindfulness activity, create a craft and will meet and greet with Buzz and Woody at the end of the evening, too.
This is a ticketed event with a limited number of tickets. Please make sure to purchase your tickets asap so as to not miss out!
*A portion of the ticket sales will help support this event and future programming for The Balance Project Cranford Chapter.

Play Club
Independence And Play
Come join us for multi-age, unstructured free play! Children will play together and be encouraged to solve their own disagreements together. Parents can stay and act as "lifeguards" - only intervening if someone is getting hurt. No structured games will be organized, but kids are welcome to bring "loose parts" such as balls, jump ropes, etc. Play club is ideal for ages 5 and up, but obviously younger siblings can join as well. See the attachment for play club rules. Please RSVP!
