Free, relaxed park gatherings for caregivers and little ones
At Chickadee Ridge Early Learning Center, community is at the heart of everything we do. One of our favorite ways to build connection beyond our home program is through our Mom & Me Meet-Ups — casual, welcoming park meetups for caregivers and children ages 6 weeks–6 years.
These gatherings are intentionally simple and pressure-free. No agenda, no sign-ups, no expectations — just space for children to play and caregivers to connect.
What to Expect
Bring what you need to feel comfortable and stay as long (or as little) as works for your family:
- ☕ Your coffee or favorite drink
- 🧺 Snacks or a picnic
- 🌿 Time for kids to explore, play, and socialize
- 💛 A chance to meet other local families and caregivers
All caregivers are welcome — moms, dads, grandparents, foster parents, and more.
Important Note
Mom & Me Meet-Ups are not drop-in childcare. These gatherings are designed for caregivers and children to attend together. Caregivers must remain with and supervise their child(ren) at all times.

A Little About Chickadee Ridge
Chickadee Ridge Early Learning Center is a family home early learning program serving children 6 weeks–6 years, with a strong focus on preschool-age learning through play, connection, and gentle routines.
While these meet-ups are community events (not childcare), they’re a lovely way to get to know our philosophy and meet families connected to Chickadee Ridge.
✨ Limited openings are available — if you’re looking for a nurturing, relationship-based early learning environment, we’d love to connect.
