Art Play is tomorrow! Bookings will stay open until 5pm today (Thursday).

It's predicted to be a perfecto sunny, calm morning in the park. We've got multiple creative play experiences prepared for your little ones, and we are SO excited to gather again in community. ❤️

Ella Ella | Early Childhood Teacher | Play all day and myself are super passionate about offering creative experiences that encourage little people to follow their curiosity, have space to get REALLY messy, and engage in activities that get their whole body involved in the process. This is what we do for our kids, and we want to offer it to your kiddos too!

Happening every last Friday of the month. Tomorrow is our August session (and you can book ahead for September too).
