How does NWA Today know the ages?

From the organizer's own listing: an age range like "Ages 1–3", a grade range like "Grades K–5" (kindergarten counts as age 5), or a word like toddler, preschool or teen in the title. Story times count as babies through preschool. An event that doesn't say is never guessed at; it stays on the full Family & Kids calendar.

Know about something we missed?

Every submission gets read by a human and listed free. The calendar pulls from 250+ sources nightly, but a direct tip never gets missed.
