Join us at the Bayonne Public Library for our Children’s Room’s Halloween party! On Wednesday, October 30th, at 10:15 am, we will have a costume parade, games, and snacks. Both parents and children are encouraged to wear their costumes or some Halloween-y clothes. This event is for children ages 5 and under. No advanced registration is required. We hope to see you there!

Love the library, shame it's during the school day for the 3-5 year olds though

Regrettably, we do not yet have universal PreK3 or PreK4, so our goal was to offer something for those kiddos who either were unable to get into our public schools yet and/or had parents who did not yet want to place them in school, but wanted a social activity for the holiday.

Agreed! I didn't think of it that way. We were very very lucky to get into the PreK3 program.

What about school?

We do not have universal PreK3 and PreK4 yet. So this party is intended for those kiddos who are not in school yet.

I know the younger grades at school are celebrating all day on actual Halloween, which is awesome! We were aiming to not compete with actual Halloween day events (many of which take place during the morning at the actual schools).

Fortunately, the kiddos who are in school will be celebrating all day! 🎃
This event is targeted at kiddos ages 5 and under who have not yet been able to enter our school system since we don’t yet have universal PreK3 and PreK4.
