Here’s why we’re hosting this event: Parents of children with special needs have shared that it is difficult for their child to participate in egg hunt events due to crowds, noise, mobility differences, and the competitive aspect of collecting eggs.

What to expect at this event: Our egg hunt event will be small and sensory-friendly. Only 15 children will participate in each session. If the weather is good, the eggs will be hidden outside on our gated playground. If the weather is not good, the eggs will be hidden inside in the Lend & Learn playroom. Eggs will be placed around our facility for the children to collect. Eggs will be placed where young children with mobility differences can find and collect. Eggs will not be filled, so the number of eggs they collect does not matter. All children will receive a prize bag of items to take home including a book, snack, and activities.
