We also read a book from PJ Library twice a month. Facilitator Ally Ross brings her 16-month-old daughter, Haley as her special “helper.” Various experts from different fields of child development and child-care will visit occasionally to share their expertise and provide opportunities for discussions. Feel free to bring your friends; it’s open to everyone! (PLEASE NOTE: We have a mandatory vaccination policy.) For more information, contact Nancy Auslander.
