This winter weekend is about looking ahead to spring

Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

We know you have spring fever… because we do, too! We cannot wait until we can plan our weekends around playgrounds, forest preserves and pretty soon, egg hunts. But until that time comes, we have a lot to choose from to get out of the house and into some family-friendly fun.

Hang on, because we’ve almost made it through another Chambana winter. We can’t wait for what comes next!

Chambanamoms thanks United Way Screenings for presenting this weekend’s planner. 

United Way Screenings

FREE developmental screenings are available for children from birth to age five in Champaign County, offering families helpful insights into how their child is growing and developing. These screenings look at areas like communication, social skills, and motor skills and are a simple way to check in on your child’s progress and connect with support if needed.

Offered through a partnership between Birth to Five Illinois, United Way of Champaign County, the Champaign County Home Visiting Consortium, and local schools, screenings are accessible and family-friendly.
