Home Base socialization called PALS or Play and Learn session are held twice a month for enrolled families. These sessions last for a minimum of 2 ½ hours (with a maximum of 16 per year) and include snacks and in some locations a meal. Time of PALS and location are determined in each area depending on what facility is available and what meets the needs of the families. PALS is optional; but, Parents/Guardians are required to attend with their child and encouraged to volunteer and participate in activities while there.
