Drop-In Playtime

Play is the natural language of childhood, and through it, children develop essential social skills like sharing, taking turns, and communicating. Drop-In Playtimes provide a flexible 3-hour window for your little one to explore and play, with age-appropriate toys and sensory activities available for babies of all ages. Come and go as you please—grab coffee or tea and chat with other parents while your child discovers their surroundings. We have musical instruments and plenty of opportunities for spontaneous song and play!

We also offer a FREE one-hour playtime dedicated to lap babies (under 6 months) every Friday from 10:30-11:30 AM. This quieter session allows parents of young infants to connect and share experiences in a peaceful, supportive environment.

Why we love Drop-in Playtime:

While play is excellent for children, Drop-In Playtimes are equally beneficial for parents. This program creates a space to connect with others in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. Think of it like visiting a friend’s home, where there’s no need to clean up or impress anyone—just show up, be yourself, and enjoy a sense of belonging. Parents often leave with new ideas, insights, and friendships, while children thrive in a safe, engaging space that makes them feel right at home. It’s a simple way to make lasting connections, foster meaningful conversations, and offer a sense of community

Things To know:

  • Both parents are welcome to join.
  • Parents must stay on-site, drop-off is not permitted.
  • Registration is open until 1 hour before class.

Story + Play

Join us every Saturday morning for a delightful mix of songs, stories, and play! This program, specially designed for little ones (0-24 months), introduces your baby to the joys of language and music while allowing parents to connect with other families.

We gather for half an hour of songs and stories, followed by an hour of unstructured playtime. Relax in our cozy “living room” while your baby explores a variety of toys, instruments, and activities in the Studio.
