Boscov’s Department Stores, the new anchor store at Providence Place Mall will host a conversation with Melissa Bernstein, the co-founder of popular toy company, Melissa & Doug this Thursday (November 13, 2019) at 3 pm at their Providence store.
Bernstein, who recently launched a “Take Back Childhood” campaign to raise awareness around the importance of play will share her experience raising six children and tips for how to encourage unstructured play opportunities. It’s within those opportunities Bernstein says that “children discover what brings them joy.”
Thursday’s event is the kickoff to the Boscov’s Family Fun and Health event happening on Saturday, November 16, 2019, at the store. The day will include fun activities, guest speakers and giveaways like teddy bear keychains, Playmobile blind bags, car seat checks, flu shots and more. Families are invited to attend this free event from 11am-2pm.
“Boscov’s is a family-owned business, and we care about the families who shop with us,” said Johanna Corcoran, Community Relations Manager. “We’ve worked hard to make sure this day addresses areas where parents and families need support, while also creating a fun family day out.” For more information about these upcoming events go to: https://locations.boscovs.com/ri/providence/6-providence-pl.html
