Pretend City Welcomes Be Well

Please join us on Friday, January 13, 2023, at 1:30 pm, for our ribbon cutting ceremony with our newest community partner, Be Well OC! Our amazing team has made a new vehicle for the city-a replica of the Be Well van that supports and provides mental health resources to many cities in Orange County. Pretend City Children’s Museum’s mission is to build better brains by supporting and nurturing all areas of a child’s development. Learning through hands on play and real-life scenarios in our city makes this possible! Mental health is important for all people but especially for our younger generation and we are extremely grateful to begin this journey with an amazing organization. Our monthly Way to Play Day, a day where families can receive free health screenings including developmental, dental, speech, and vision is the perfect day to collaborate and teach our young children the tools and resources to promote positive mental health.
