ACCESSIBILITY

We are committed to making our spaces and programs accessible and safe for everyone in our community, inclusive of every race, ethnicity, national origin, faith, sexual orientation, gender identity and range of abilities.

Please note that our current space is not fully accessible for those in wheelchairs or with mobility limitations. We do offer kits that replicate many of the second-floor activities. Please inquire at the front desk.

We are working to move to a larger, more inclusive space in the near future. We apologize for our current shortcomings!
