Coastal Kids Preschool is excited to be teaming up with the award winning PBS KIDS series Carl the Collector to host the first ever dedicated Sensory-Friendly Pumpkinfest Event at Coastal Kids Preschool.  A special screening of Carl the Collector will also take place at Skidompha Library!  Both events are open to children of all ages.

Sensory-Friendly Events Provide Families:

Accessibility–Allowing individuals with sensory sensitivities to participate in events without feeling overwhelmed.

Well-being–A safe space for children/families to decompress and regulate when needed.

Inclusion–Promoting a healthy, inclusive environment for all people- particularly those with disabilities.

Carl the Collector is an award-winning PBS KIDS series that follows the everyday adventures of Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who loves to collect, and his five fuzzy pals, Sheldon, Lotta, Forrest, Nico and Arugula. The groundbreaking series celebrates friendship and all the little things that make each of us unique, while also showcasing the strengths and experiences of neurodiversity. Centered on social-emotional learning, Carl the Collector features storylines that explore problem-solving, self-regulation, self-identity, social awareness and relationship skills.
