About the event
Join us for a fun and welcoming Thomas & Friends Theme Night as we celebrate Autism Acceptance Month in collaboration with Oak Leyden!
This family-friendly evening is designed to create a supportive, low-pressure space where children and their caregivers can connect, play, and enjoy time together. Inspired by Thomas & Friends, this event highlights the importance of representation and inclusion in everyday spaces. Did you know that one of Thomas's friends, Bruno, is Autistic?!
Everyone is welcome at our Theme Night, whether you're neurodivergent or neurotypical!! Families will have the opportunity to socialize while children explore interactive, flexible, train-themed activities. Members of both the CAYR Connections and Oak Leyden teams will be onsite to support and help facilitate connections throughout the evening.
Activities are primarily geared toward children ages 0–5, but siblings of all ages are welcome to join in the fun!
