In the busyness of family life, it can sometimes be hard to find the time and space to connect one on one with our children. 
Connection Corner is here to be that safe, cozy, and connective space where you can come with your child/children and  be intentional with your time together.
Each month will be geared around a theme and set up with related books, activities, games, and opportunities to have fun and connect. A joyful time to be present and playful.
See you at Connection Corner.
