Tykes on Bikes was a fun and exciting time for all! 

We want to give a special thanks to the families who joined us in supporting families of all types this past Sunday at the SF Pride Parade.  

Executive Director Rich Winefield reflects on his participation in the parade, "We stand for kids--all kids, and families--all families, and we take pride in that stand. It's therefore fitting that we join the Pride Parade, and we'll be there again next year and into the future."

With decorated bikes, trikes and strollers we rolled along Market Street waving to the crowd and having a blast. Check out our photo set on Flickr.

Tales from the Land of Gullah
May 17 - September 14

Children explore their own traditions through the traditions of others in Tales from the Land of Gullah. They learn about the preservation of cultural histories and learn about rhythm and patterns of Gullah life. In this exhibition, children and parents are inspired to investigate a different culture and the surprising ways it influences their daily lives.

Here are some of the fun things you can do: 

• Gullah Livin' - design a quilt, make music, and more.
• Basket Name - find your Gullah nickname
• Gullah Garden - learn how they planted their crops
• Tellin' Forest - create and act out your own Gullah story.
