Introducing… Education Station
Feb

Introducing… Education Station

We are so excited to launch our latest active learning experience - Education Station! If you’ve been in our space recently, you’ve probably seen some changes taking place in our party room. Beginning on Sunday February 4th, our party room will come alive during open play as our new “Education Station” - giving toddlers a fun jumpstart on Kindergarten skills. We’ll have activities that include hands-on learning between children and their caregivers, and activities will include:

  • Letter and Number Identification

  • Colors and Shapes

  • Sight Words

  • Name Writing

  • Art and Literacy Based Experiences

The brain child of our education director, each of the research-based activities has been curated by a retired Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher with more than 30 years of experience in the classroom. And to provide an at-home connection, all activities (and more!) will be explained in a weekly take-home newsletter.

We can’t wait to see you at the Station!
