Hey everyone, I hope you're looking forward to Memorial Day with the little ones!
If you know of an event, want to organize a meet-up at a playground, have some baby clothes/toys/w.e that need a new home, shoot me an e-mail @ adrian@jamaicaplainparents.com and I’ll get it in the next newsletter.
And please pass this along to your family, friends, and neighbors. I would love to get a good group of fellow parents together to make life easier and fun!

BABY MATINEE @ Capitol Theatre • 12:00 PM • Parents with babies • $13
A Baby-Friendly Matinee is not a movie for babies – it’s for the caregivers out there who want to see a movie and bring their baby with them without having to worry about the baby making noise, or the movie damaging their child’s hearing. We keep the lights up at mid-level and the volume down a little lower so that patrons can attend to their kids and still see a first-run movie. When possible, we show the open caption version of the film. While patrons without infants are certainly welcome to attend, they should know that the babies are free to be babies during the show!
