The weather has behaved! Join Making Opportunity Count CFCE & ParentChild+ and Quabbin Community Cares on the ice rink this morning 2/19 at 10am. This family friendly event allows our youngest friends to get on the ice rink with or without skates. So they can try out a new grossmotor skill. Bike helmets, mittens, and snowpants are recommended. Thank you Mr Stevens for once again allowing this yearly activity. Reach out to cfce@mocinc.org with any questions.

CFCE & Parentchild+ is a program of Making Opportunity Count and is funded by the MA Dept of Early Education and Care.
