Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Washington DC: 63 dated listings in the next 60 days; 34 of the 61 listings with a start time begin before noon — this age runs on mornings; the busiest single venue is Georgetown Neighborhood Library with 10 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Washington DC's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Washington DC run indoors at Chevy Chase Neighborhood Library, Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library, Deanwood Neighborhood Library — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.

Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
