Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (PG): Fast-moving, funny and imaginative, this movie is too brightly colored and silly to be very scary, even though it's in 3-D. Most kids 8 and older, and even some a little younger, will have fun with it.

Early education and care
The state Department of Early Education and Care lists all licensed programs - family child care, center-based and school-age.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children, whose accrediting process of center-based programs and preschools is a widely-accepted proxy for quality, lists accredited programs.
Contact your local school department for information on early education programs in the public schools.
