Play is an essential part of a child's development as it provides them with opportunities to explore and learn about the world around them. Through play, children learn important skills such as problem-solving, communication, and socialization. Play also helps children to develop their creativity and imagination, which are important for their cognitive and emotional growth. It allows them to express themselves in a safe and enjoyable way, which can boost their self-esteem and confidence. Moreover, play helps children to develop their physical skills, such as coordination, balance, and strength, which are important for their overall health and well-being.
​
Learning through play can also help children to develop a love of learning that can last a lifetime. When children engage in play, they are motivated by their own curiosity and interests, which makes learning more enjoyable and meaningful. They are also more likely to retain information and skills learned through play because they have learned them in a context that is relevant and meaningful to them. By incorporating play into a child's learning, parents and educators can make the learning process more engaging, exciting, and effective. This can help to foster a positive attitude towards learning, which can benefit a child throughout their academic and personal life.

Wait, 0-5? What happened to 0-7?
​
After our first month of being open, we can confidently say that our space is optimized for most personalities of littles ones 0-5. What we have learned for the older ones (6&7), is that some are bigger, stronger, higher energy, and tend to only make it about an hour with us before looking for higher energy activities to engage in.
"Does this mean I can't book for my 6 or 7 year old?" Of course not! you are welcome to book, we just ask that you consider how your little one plays.

Why The Acai??
Acai bowls are a popular food trend that originated in Brazil and are now popular worldwide. They are made by blending frozen acai berries with other ingredients such as fruits, granola, and nuts, and then topping the mixture with additional toppings like coconut flakes or honey. Acai bowls are often promoted as a healthy breakfast or snack option, and there are several potential health benefits associated with consuming them regularly.
​
Acai berries are a rich source of antioxidants, which can help protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, acai berries are high in fiber, which can help improve digestion and promote feelings of fullness. Acai berries also contain healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
​
By combining acai berries with other nutrient-dense ingredients such as fruits, nuts, and seeds, acai bowls can provide a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial plant compounds. Acai bowls are also a convenient and easy way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet, which can help promote overall health and wellbeing.
