They say it takes a village to raise a child, and at the Slate Valley Museum, we believe that village starts with community.

Our new Heavy Lifting Parent & Caregiver Time meets once a month to provide a welcoming space for parents, guardians, and caregivers to connect, talk, and support one another through the challenges and joys of raising children, or maybe just enjoy some quiet time exploring the museum. Whether you are navigating difficult moments, celebrating small victories, or simply looking for understanding, connection, or a moment of quiet, this time exists so that no one feels like they are carrying the weight alone.

Children are welcome to attend, though caregivers may find it easier to fully participate if they are able to focus on the conversation.
