Calendar

Come play with us as we learn and explore through art, music, physical movement and sensory play to build imagination, language, social relationships, growth and development. 

All babies and children from birth to age six and their parents/caregivers are welcome to join us at the Main Branch for a free play and inquiry-based program. 

Fun activities will include messy art, storytelling, and a group song circle.  We might get messy and we might get loud, but we will always have fun!

This is a drop-in program. No registration is required.

Please join us on the 2nd floor open area at the Main Branch every Thursday from 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. for pleasant conversation, snacks, and coffee. Belonging Brant is proud to host this community drop-in space where you can come and make it what you wish.

For the first time, we have a special community member hosting an art space during A Place to Be! Come out to use free art supplies and get creative with us.
