JWB’s First-Ever Turbo Babies Baby Day Dash Draws Hundreds of Families

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, JWB hosted the first-ever Turbo Babies Baby Day Dash.

Hundreds of families with babies and toddlers came together for a hands-on experience highlighting the first three years of life and why they matter so much. In celebration of National Baby Day, the one-of-a-kind event paired play with practical, life-changing and life-saving information for parents.

Families explored the museum and visited interactive stations tackling some of the most urgent and preventable risks facing young children today. From safe sleep practices to drowning prevention, a leading cause of death for toddlers and a focus during Water Safety Awareness Month, parents learned tips they can use right away.

“JWB remains dedicated to investing in the healthy development of children from birth to three,” said JWB Interim CEO Michael Mikurak. “Our first-ever Baby Day event is all about giving parents educational tools to help their little ones sleep safe, splash smart, and start strong. By supporting families during these critical early years, we are building a stronger future for our entire community.”

The event also connected families directly with experts and resources, including early brain development guidance, as well as a free Turbo Babies Pit Crew brain-building bag filled with materials and activities to support learning and growth at home.

Parents also accessed information about VPK registration and signed up for Parent ProTech, an expert-backed video library focused on keeping children safe in a digital world.

The Turbo Babies Baby Day Dash is part of JWB’s commitment to promoting early childhood well-being and supporting parents and caregivers as their child’s first and best teachers. The first three years of life are a time of rapid brain development, and when children are most vulnerable to unsafe sleep environments, water hazards, and missed developmental milestones. Events like the Baby Day Dash help families put critical tips into everyday practice.
