Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

- Fred Rogers

OPEN PLAY

Available Monday – Sunday for open play. Our play space is set up with a focus on imaginative, open ended play. Our open floor plan allows for no blind spots so caregivers may sit and relax, encouraging their young ones to explore independent play. We strive to provide a stimulating, fun, environment where children are able to exercise their imagination while enhancing their basic motor skills. Through physical play and social interaction we hope to bolster self-confidence and encourage their active and positive participation in every day life!
