LEARN & PLAY
PRAM playgroups, classes and gatherings provide opportunities for learning, playing and socializing for PRAM kids and their grown-ups. All activities are open to everyone! Is there a type of class you’d like to see at PRAM, or do you have the skills to offer a class of your own? Are you a PRAM member who is interested in starting a playgroup? Could you help out at an upcoming event, or would you like to propose one? Contact pramprograms@gmail.com with your ideas! Or fill out our Class/Activity Survey!
SOCIAL EVENTS
Holidays are a great excuse for us to gather at PRAM, share food and take lots of silly photos. PRAM hosts events for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and the Holidays. We even make up our own holiday to celebrate the bounty of the PRAM Garden.

SPRING CLASSES
Classes build social and motor skills for young ones and provide entertainment for their grown-up companions! Classes might be taught by early childhood education experts, professional artists, licensed practitioners, or just a neighborhood parent with a talent or skill to offer!
Classes with low enrollment will be cancelled, so please register early. Unless otherwise noted, adults are expected to accompany their children.
