This year we’re introducing two new offerings for our youngest community members and their grown-ups: Baby Services and Participatory Family Services at 8:45 AM, plus staffed childcare (ages 3+) during our 9:30 AM Main Community Service.

Safety first: your RSVP is essential. To ensure a secure environment, we hire caregivers based on expected attendance. Your early response helps us uphold the correct staff-to-child ratios for safety and security.

Childcare is free for HBT members. For non-members, the cost is $36 per participant, per day.

Submitting the interest form is part of our planning process and does not guarantee a spot until you receive confirmation.
