The Guild Hall is officially open for families to enjoy Sunday morning from 9:30am - 11am. From 9:30 - 10:00, father, musician and early childhood educator Alex Baron facilitates a weekly fam jam for all family members. We’ll have some instruments on hand for you and your littles to enjoy! Following the musical portion of the morning, families are invited to spend the next hour enjoying a casual playgroup in the space. Families had been hanging around afterwards anyways, so we figured we’d just make it official!

Additionally, our good friends at Haymaker Buns downstairs will be offering $5 kids’ meals with any adult meal purchased to all playgroup attendees!

Join us on the second Sunday of every month from 3:30pm - 5pm for a low-key playgroup at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington.

Come with low expectations and you won’t leave disappointed.

We admit, we dropped the ball a bit on book clubs recently. But now they are back and with a bit more structure. The last Wednesday of the month is now officially “Book Club Night” - where we will welcome groups to meet hybrid-style - in-person at The Guild Hall or join remotely.

So how does it work?

1 - Sign up for book groups online via our Trax RSVP link (scroll to the very bottom for books)

2 - Once a book has 5 RSVPs, we’ll connect you with the other dads who signed up for the same book.

3 - Dads correspond and pick the Book Club Night that works best

4 - That night, come to the Guild Hall (or hop on the meeting link) and discuss.

Need a copy of the book? Dad Guild and lend you one. Swing by The Guild Hall. 

We’ll do our best to share the confirmed books clubs meeting in advance, in case other dads want to join too. Watch the monthly newsletters as well as our Instagram.

WTF! This three-hour workshop for expecting dads takes place quarterly. Dads-to-be will get the crash course on all things baby- related, including hearing from a doula from Vermont Doula Company and from a handful of “seasoned” dads about what to expect. They’ll also get the 20-minute Dad Guild orientation so they all know how they can get involved in Vermont’s largest fatherhood community. Participants will get an instant network of folks in similar positions getting ready to transition into parenthood, and everyone will receive a free copy of the book Baby 411.

Hybrid event: join us in-person or virtually.
