Why our Events
What Makes Us Unique
01
No regulations or restrictions
We are not a co-op type group that requires families to sign up for so many events a week or month. We also do not have restrictions of any kind to participate. If you can make it to an event regardless of the number of people, your location, beliefs & so on we would love to have you.
02
Weekly local events
We keep most of our events to the San Tan/Queen Creek area. There will be at least one large field trip outside of this area as well as the possibility for some other random ones throughout the month. There is no requirement to travel for events though.
03
Amazing Community
Each event typically varies on age ranges. However, you can expect to see toddlers through tween ages regularly at events. We do also have meet ups for teens monthly. Both the parents & kids in our group are welcoming, kind & enjoy meeting others.

How can I register for an event?
Using the calendar above click the event you would like to attend. Read the description to see all the details including location, time & if sign up is needed. Keep in mind not all events require a sign up. If you are unsure you can always email us at [email protected] with the event(s) you are interested in.
Do you offer refunds?
We have a no refund policy on field trips & paid events. This is because many businesses require deposits, payment in full, or guarantees prior to the event. Once I have committed or paid I cannot get refunded. This is valid for events that the individual signing up can no longer attend. If the group cancels an event refunds will be sent back immediately after cancelation notice regardless of the circumstances.
Can I bring my own food to the events?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food to the events. However, please be mindful of other kids having allergies. We will on occasion host potluck events. For these events pleas keep in mind we do not restrict foods allergies.
I am nervous to attend my first event, what can I expect?
Everyone feels nervous for events. The hardest part is to get out there. Keep in mind sometimes we only have a handful of families at an event & other times we have a large group. I suggest trying to find the host of the event & introducing yourself. From there it is easy to join into conversations. Keep in mind your child is watching, if they see you talking & enjoying others company they will also start to feel relaxed. The kids in our group are so great at playing with new kids. If your child is shy or doesn’t want to talk/play with others don’t get discouraged. Sometimes it takes a few events for them to open up. Don’t give up and come out to a few to allow them this time.
What if I have kids of multiple ages?
Bring them all! With the exception of a few teen events all meet-ups are friendly for all ages. Even events with age restrictions younger kids can come just keep in mind they might not be able to participate or have others their age. If you are unsure you can always send us an email before hand.
Are the events free to attend?
Most events are free to attend. Field trips, unit studies & classes are paid events but it is not required to come to these events. Park playdates, clubs, and other select events are free to attend & occur monthly.
Can I post and run events?
We are always looking for more people to help run events! If you would like to run an event please send us an email to [email protected]. In our Facebook group you are allowed to share about outside events, however, at this time we do not post about outside events on our calendar or in our newsletter. We also do not promote events we ourselves are not running due to liability.
