Our website also has varying price points for memberships. Our paid memberships, while not required, are encouraged as they help you gain access to discounts on events as well as merch, savings at our partnerships, and rewards points!

Q- Are dads, grandparents or caregivers able to attend?

A- Yes! We love when families make it to our weekly events, whether that's one on one or all together. We do ask that whoever is attending, please RSVP so we know how many families to expect. We do have some special events that are listed as Mamas only or Dads only etc. these events will always specify in the description when they are Moms only, nurslings allowed, etc.

​

Q- What types of events do you hold?

A- We host weekly meet-ups most of which are free like our Picnic and Plays, Tiny Tots library days, Sunday Strolls. We also host weekly or monthly ticketed events through our partnerships such as Open Gym at gymnastic studios, Special needs sensory events, or Indoor play spaces playdates during the cooler months. We also host ticketed special events each month, these vary but have included; Mamas only self defense classes, craft nights, Ink Nite tattoo events, clothing swaps, holiday outings etc. as well as family outings like our Spring Egg-stravaganza, trunk or treat, winter festival, and so much more!

​

Q- Why are some events ticketed?

A- Some events have ticket prices attached because they cost us money to host, Whether that means paying venues, purchasing supplies, refreshments, decorations, etc. We always make sure our ticket prices are fair for what it costs us and any minimal extra we make goes right back into our organization.

​

Q- What do donations go towards? 

A- All donations unless specified, go directly into our organisation. We are a non-profit here in CT. Most donations go to operational costs like maintaining our website, helping us purchase needed supplies and equipment, marketing material, etc. Some events' profits such as our clothing swaps go separately into our Community Care Collective. We also have some donations towards our fundraising effort to purchase and open our first open community center here in CT!

​

Q- What does the Community Care Collective do?

A- This is a team of our amazing, hard working volunteers who work to help other families in our community. Anyone who needs help can fill out a request form and we will do our best to meet those needs. This sometimes means giving formula or food, personal hygiene supplies, clothes, shoes, connections to resources they can apply for, etc.

​

Q- What is this community center we are raising money towards?

A- We are actively fundraising to open our first Misfit Family Center. This would be a space that is open to our families to visit and play in our free space, low cost drop in daycare with extended hours, and facilities specifically for our special needs families. We also hope to be able to offer transitional housing for teens and young adults phasing out of the foster care systems, or families down on their luck to have reduced rent in family dorms for a set period of time in exchange for utilizing resources and taking financial literacy classes, volunteer hours, etc.
