LIFT 4 KIDS!: Super Senses Challenge!

Join medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for an exciting hands-on event about senses!  Kids will rotate through fun activities that challenge their hearing, vision, movement, and hand skills to see how different people experience the world.  Then we’ll talk about what they felt and how we can be more kind, helpful, and inclusive to everyone.

For families with kids in kindergarten and up.

Move & Create!

Move & Create is an engaging class where little ones ages 3-5 explore movement through fun games, music, and active play!  Each session also includes a creative activity, such as art, storytelling, or building, that ties into the theme of the day to spark imagination while keeping kids moving.

Move & Create is presented by the faculty of the Raritan Valley YMCA.

 

Author Reading of Everything Grows in Jiddo's Garden

Join us for a local author reading of Everything Grows in Jiddo's Garden, a debut picture book by Jenan Matari exploring themes of belonging and identity, familial love, and an enduring connection to the land.

Additional activities will be available at the conclusion of the reading. 

All are welcome to this family event, although the book is most appropriate for children in preschool through grade 2.
