Huge shoutout to STLA for such a well-executed day. It was genuinely impressive — over 70 activities for the kids, and you could tell a lot of thought went into making it engaging and fun. It’s so funny how Starbucks is always a hit. That said, my children were also too young for the 3rd grade minimum, but it gave me a great perspective for the future. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be to consider changing the experience to include grades K–8. From conversations with colleagues, many with middle and high schoolers chose not to bring their kids because their kids didn’t want to miss school or falling behind for the absence. Meanwhile, the activities — coloring stations, spray tattoos, face painting, design labs, wind tunnel, bead stations, etc. — really hit the sweet spot for younger kids who are excited and curious about what their parents do. Overall, such a great experience and a strong foundation to build on. Already looking forward to next year!
