10:30-11:30am

Mark your calendar for these open gym dates at FICL! Join us this winter at the FICL for Open Gym and Book Nook. We will be meeting on Wednesdays from 10:30-11:30am. This is a great opportunity for children to burn off some energy in the colder months, and a time for parents/caregivers to connect. We will have sensory bins, obstacle courses, and lots of room to run around. ICL will also have select books available for reading and checking out! Sponsored by ICL and Great Start Collaborative of Ionia County.
