Center Kids, Center Families hosts and co-hosts many events of relevance to LGBTQ parents and people thinking about becoming parents. The primary recurring events we host are Family Play Days, but we host other exciting events year-round, as well. We hope you can join us in-person soon!

CENTER KIDS, CENTER FAMILIES FAMILY PLAY DAYS - These are events where LGBTQ parents can connect and network with each other while their children have lots of fun with others their age! A baby space is provided for those under 3-years old; there are age-appropriate organized play activities for 3-to-5-year-olds and 6-to-8-year-olds; and there's a chat room for parents! Most Family Play Days are held at the Center, but we also take them "on the road" – to the theater, museums, or other play spaces. Suggested donation: $20/family, more if, less if... Dates for Family Play Days are announced regularly. For more information, contact Ivy Belardo at ibelardo@gaycenter.org or see all upcoming family events.
