SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: This year, we are inviting one to two parents to support Molly, Lead Acorn instructor, as Little Acorn assistants. This requires a commitment to attend all sessions and support Little Acorns leads with set up, circle time and breakdown. Little Acorn assistants are eligible for waived registration fees.

Little Acorns group will be led by local artist and Mom, Molly Paulick. We’re delighted to have her at the Garden!
