Nature's confetti is really starting to fall!

Peak foliage is this week and we are taking advantage of it! This week we will be outside gathering leaves and using them for different types of art, experiments and how to use them in fire starters.

Munch and mingle is now offering a typing workshop, you will be able to come use our computers to have kids work on typing skills using lessons and games! We have 5 computers and it is a first come first serve basis.

Come enjoy some programs with us and see the beautiful leaves on the Fort!

New week= new skills!

Karate at Mountainside is a great way to see if your child has interest in karate before committing to the full course!

April from Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karatedo Kobudo Academy does a great job every week teaching some beginner skill and building off of those skills every week. Especially as the cold season is approaching, it’s a great way to keep everyone active. If you would like to join us before the class fills up, click the link to sign up!

This week coming up we are focusing on the water cycle!

What a better way to enjoy all the rain we have been getting recently than to learn about the water cycle. Our programs include learning about types of clouds, studying our stream, making an example of the water cycle in a bag, and a self watering planter!

Walk ins are welcome but sign ups are encouraged!
