Programs

We’ve had an amazing first month and are so happy to hear all the positive feedback! We are currently working on adding new programs and you can already RSVP for the ones in May. This is the only step needed to sign up for them! You can always view our calendar for the most up to date schedule. Join us as we work towards our Best of All’.

What is ‘Best of All’?

Best of All is continual, measurable, celebrated and it never ends. It is a daily challenge to do a little better than you did the day before and it is always celebrated.  Possible manifestations include standing just one second longer, reading just one more word, learning just one new number, taking just one more step, it’s never a competition and is never completed.

Open Play

We will be open every Wednesday from 9:30am-12:30pm for anyone who wants to stop by and chat or wants to bring their kids to hang out! Come visit us!!
