South Routt Play and Learn — September 2026

South Routt Play and Learn brings the Family Development Center’s Newborn Network to Oak Creek with twice-weekly sessions for caregivers and young children. Each morning centers on a theme — from movement and music to big feelings and favorite books — with plenty of unstructured play mixed in. Community experts drop in throughout the month, and September includes a Labor Day parade appearance.
