Join us to learn more about our preschool and toddler Community School programs. During this drop-in Open House, staff and current parents will be on site to share information about curriculum, logistics, and more. Families are welcome to stop by at any time during this window. Children are welcome to attend along with caregivers, and to explore our play spaces.

Add some creative play time in to your holiday season with our Foraged Crafting Mini-Camp. Each day, campers will learn one or more craft projects using foraged nature items. We will have plenty of time for exploring the winter beauty of our forest, and connecting with new friends.

This fall, we are launching Solidarity Saturdays as a forum for exploring how we can support the most vulnerable members of our communities. People of all ages are invited to gather with us to educate ourselves about specific injustices, both locally and nationally, and identify ways in which we can take better care of one another. Activities might include discussions, guest speakers, engaging in action calls such as letter writing or calling elected representatives, building networks for mutual aid, or exploring other ideas that arise. Children of all ages are welcome, playful engagement is encouraged!

This month, we will be partnering with Engather, a Kingston-based gift economy platform that reweaves the social fabric of our communities through supportive, joyful human connections.

R.S.V.P.’s are helpful by not required; contact alanna@catskillwheelhouse.org.

Prepare for the holiday season sustainably, while also making space in your toy box. For the toy swap aspect of this event, you are invited to bring gently-used toys to offer to other families, and to shop for your own new favorite things. At the same time, we will be hosting a workshop for simple but beautiful handmade gifts that are manageable for different age ranges, from children through adults. R.S.V.P.’s are helpful by not required; contact alanna@catskillwheelhouse.org.

Take a little break…Bring your kids, and come play in our play yard and classroom spaces while we make your family dinner! We’ll provide the basics (beans, rice, cheese, tortillas - both wheat flour & gluten-free), you bring your favorite toppings and make your own tacos for your crew. Grown-ups chat, kids play, and everyone gets home before the witching hour begins. Every first Thursday. Hope to see you!

By community request! Kids’ spaces & activities are often dominated by women, so we’re setting aside some time to be dad-focused. This is an opportunity for dads to connect with your kiddos, while also building connections with other dads. Moms and other parents are welcome, too!
