Our Kid-Centric Event Guide for Families with Children Ages 0-6

Know a child who could use a safe, creative outlet while their parent or caregiver finds the support they need? Roots & Wings Club offers a free, nurturing space where kids can explore art, yoga, and imaginative play. Held during Friend to Friend’s support group at the Southern Pines Library, it’s designed to support the whole family. Please share with anyone who could use this resource.
