Hello Families!

This issue is a BIG ONE! It features the first of our two annual Summer Guides. The guide features more than 40 summer options for children to keep them engaged, enriched and most of all – busy!

The guide begins on page 18 – please remember to tell our featured advertisers that you found them in Kids Directory! Please check our Kids Eat Free pages. A few restaurants have closed recently and a few have changed their deals. Come see us March 28 at the Moxie Morning and Cox Health’s Baby Affair. Two great events in one, busy day!
