Our Kid-Centric Event Guide for Families with Children Ages 0-6 (RSS)
Moore County » August 11-17
Fall class enrollment (weekly 40-minute sessions in mornings or evenings) is officially open at Sandhills Gymnastics! Now you can snag a spot in popular preschool programs like Tumblebears, Kinderbears, Ninjabears, and more.
Big news from The Connection Corner! Starting in September, their weekly classes will shift to 90-minute sessions—giving little ones more time to settle in, play, create, and connect. If you’ve been searching for your go-to mommy & me crew, this might just be the easiest (and most joyful!) place to start—especially when you book consistently. Fall schedule begins September 2nd!
And if you're up for some seasonal fun on wheels with Sandhills Trolley—check out the Pumpkin Patch Kidz Cruise to White Hill Farm or the Polar Express Pajama Party on New Year’s Eve Eve! Full list here.
And just so you know, we’ve got a brand new Event Calendar—because that last platform was really tanking our SEO. 😅 Shortly, you should actually be able to find our events when you Google them!
