​Are kids and babies welcome? Do you have a children’s program?
Although the community dreams of having a children’s program, we currently do not. There are no set guidelines on children attending the Sunday program, but it is worth inquiring about bringing your baby or children with you to the Sunday program. Please email director@olympiazencenter.org.
