****The 2015 Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo is on Sunday April 19th!
Not just for babies. A Child Grows in Brooklyn brings you our 3rd annual Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo on Sunday April 6th in Brooklyn Heights. Here’s why you’ve got to be there:
1. Free On-Site Childcare: If free childcare gets you to the Y to work out, then why shouldn’t it also give you an afternoon of checking out fascinating seminars, testing cool products and geeking out on parenting info. Enjoy some me-time disguised as family-time while your children play with our qualified sitters from Brooklyn Manny & Nanny.
2. Free Lunch: Is there anything better then free food? Isn’t this why you used to go to gallery openings? Lunch is served in a our Fresh Direct Cafe all day and is included with your tickets.
3. Because You Need To Throw Down on the Dance Floor: Vered Music and Little Rock-its by Frolics will be playing throughout the day so you can rock out with your little ones. I can already hear the sound of a dance-off.
4. Swag!: This plays on the free-stuff-is-awesome theme. We’re giving away amazing gift bags overflowing with cool products for everyone in the family. VIP tickets come with a BECO baby carrier! And both VIP and Premium include a gift bag valued at over $150!
