Join the Family Resource Center of New England for a weekend of American "Ed-Ventures" and connect with a wide variety of family enrichment and homeschooling activities. Inspired by the upcoming election—and in the spirit of fun, learning and good citizenship—this year’s theme highlights significant historical and scientific events from America’s past that will encourage students to think of ways that they too can make a difference in our country’s future.

New Playspace for Pre-Schoolers

Together in Motion, a new play space at No. 1 Broadway in Arlington (former Cityside Subaru location) for ages 6 and under will give you deja vu for the Tot Stop of a few years ago. The venue is set to open for drop-in sessions in December, proprietor Erik Kondo told the Day Tripper Divas and the Arlington Family Connection when we previewed the space on Dec. 12 for an AFC party. We found it nicely equipped, spacious, well-lighted, and a much-needed venue for families in Arlington, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, and surrounding towns. Looks like Kondo is planning organized activities & classses for kids and adults, and there is a separated area where you will be able to watch your kids whilst you work on the Internet. The space is also available for birthday parties and other events.
