COME FOR THE CAUSE AND STAY FOR THE FUN

The New Haven Family Stroll & Festival brings the community together for a day of family fun while increasing awareness and raising much needed funds for high-quality early childhood education.* The event kicks off with the SCSU Blue Steel Drumline leading a stroll along the Quinnipiac River bridge loop. Back in the park, activities and entertainment include food trucks, face painting, parachute play, magicians, musicians, Zumba, bubbles, arts and crafts, and information, and information from over 40 resource partners.

This year’s theme is compassion. Can you express your compassion and help support the youngest members of our community? Join us at the New Haven Family Stroll & Festival to help us bridge the huge funding gap in high-quality early childhood education!

*Did you know Connecticut state subsidies only pay for 50% of the actual cost of providing high-quality early childhood education? Programs have to charge families more, pay teachers less OR we can come together as a community and show our support for early childhood education on May 14th in Quinnipiac Park!
