Cubes & Crayons Coworking - Silicon Valley

Kids Night Out - OR what to do on our date night in the Bay Area

While you may look at kids' night out as a fun event for the kids, it reminds my sweetie and I to do something nice for each other.  It's a win-win to have a great evening planned for your child (that you didn't have to plan) and some ideas for what you can do as well.   
Need some ideas of great romantic activities for evening or a saturday morning, check out our hot list below:

Mommy and Me Preschool Prep - ALL ABOUT ANIMALS

It's never too early to learn the rhythms of school and what better way than in a comfortable environment with your child.  Join us for Mommy (or Daddy) and Me preschool prep where you will engage in circle time, singing, themed activities and story time.  This Fall we focus on animals.

Fall Arts - BIG HIT

Check out the video.

Messy Art (14 mo. - 36 mo.)

One of the best things about art for kids is just the fun of getting messy.  Spend each week with us making handprints, finger painting, making and shaping dough, doing marble art and just getting messy while creating a child's masterpiece.  Explore the senses while mixing, squishing and squashing different art materials.  Come dressed to get messy.

Ready for the details...

Practical guide to Finding a Preschool

Diaper Drive Sets High Goal - 3,000 Diapers in Mountain View

LET'S GIVE CHEEKS A CHANCE
Diaper Drive at Cubes&Crayons 

The recession has hit many families hard, particularly those who were already barely getting by.  Diapers aren't considered a necessity by programs that support these families.  As moms, I think we can all agree that they actually are.  Help A Mother Out  are running a diaper drive through September.  During our June diaper drive, we collected around 2,500 diapers for Sacred Heart Community Services in San Jose, which was a fantastic achievement.
