Event Details
Finding child care for your infant or toddler is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. There are a lot of things to consider, such as the cost, hours, and type of child care that is the best for your family. There are many questions about the difference between a family child care, a day care center, and all of your options. We’ll discuss each type of care so you can connect with the right provider. We’ll also cover how to screen and interview potential providers.
Note: There is no child care provided for any of our parenting classes, but babies in arms are welcome.

Taught by Maya Gonzalez, an award-winning children’s book artist, author, activist, and progressive educator, this workshop provides vital steps to take in order to bring supportive change through using books and hands-on educational materials for participants to learn how to create a gender-inclusive classroom environment. We will also look at language and what is important to consider when discussing gender inclusivity, explore the impact of oppositional thinking and the benefits of expansive thinking. The participants will leave with an understanding of how the impact of historical suppression of individuals and nature is reflected in our current teaching for gender inclusivity.

We’re excited to invite you to our free Playgroup series at BANANAS!
With a focus on serving grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends, and parents, playgroups will offer a space to connect with one another and build community. Our free playgroups will have children laughing, exploring, and creating and we will discover the many wonderful ways that play inspires learning. Join us weekly to pretend, play, celebrate music, create art, and dream up inventions while gaining new parenting tools and learning about child development. A light snack will be served.
Space is limited at playgroups and participation is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Young babies are welcome if attending with a sibling who meets the recommended age group (two to five years). When you RSVP, you will be signed up tor the entire series. RSVP at www.bananasbunch.org/playgroups
(No playgroup on Nov 28)
Con un enfoque en servir a abuelos, hermanos, tías, tíos, niñeras, vecinos, amigos y padres, los grupos de juego ofrecerán un espacio para conectarse entre sí y construir una comunidad. Nuestros grupos de juegos gratuitos harán a los niños reír, explorar y crear, y descubriremos muchas formas maravillosas en que el juego inspira el aprendizaje. Únase a nosotros semanalmente para jugar, celebrar música, crear arte y inventar inventos mientras adquiere nuevas herramientas de cuidado y aprende sobre el desarrollo infantil. Se servirá un bocadillo ligero.
Cuando responda, sera registrado para la serie completa. Los bebés pequeños son bienvenidos si asisten con un hermano que cumpla con la edad recomendado (de dos a cinco años).
