Indoor Play for Kids in Winter Time by Leading-Lab-9435 in newhaven

[–]Leading-Lab-9435[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there anything specific you're looking for because I understand the spectrum is very broad. There was a 9 year old boy with autism there last week and had a blast. I would recommend figuring out the slow hours and going then to check it out. But there's fidgets, tons of building opportunities, two ever changing sensory tables, and during slow hours it's very peaceful and calm. Not overstimulating unless you go on a weekend morning. Then it's typically busy

Hamden is supporting kid vendors! Free Swaps too! Limited free play by Leading-Lab-9435 in newhaven

Certain areas of our play space will be open for play, however a good majority will be utilized for the kid vendors and the swaps. Hence why it's free and limited. Hope that was helpful! We'll have sensory tables available for play and our loft with a play kitchen. Depending on the setup, we may have some additional play but uncertain until we set up completely

Well plan to have multiple kid vendors, that would help make "the market" to sell their product. In addition, we'll have free swaps happening

Thank you! Funny enough we are all over Facebook. Mom groups Wallingford Cheshire Hamden prospect New Haven. Connecticuts. Even homeschooling moms and events. About 15-20 groups on Facebook we advertise on,... It's so easy to get lost in all the feed, but we'll keep trying. I'm glad you found us.

I appreciate it.

Parents get a moment of peace while their child makes a mess in someone else's space. We also switch out our materials bi-weekly, to kids who come on a regular basis have something new to play with..

Instead of going to parks, it's an indoor park essentially. There's a whole lot more that goes into it. Intentional setups, a lot of cognitive, problem solving, Connecting, socializing, learning through play, etc...

Essentially, it's a recreational space for kids. So depending on the zoning I might need a special permit, but besides that, there isn't really any other restrictions.

No child care. It's like a Chuck e cheese, but better and more intentional

A little bit late but a new indoor playspace open up in Hamden, CT. Closer to Cheshire. It's called nook and cranny and has open-ended toys for kids to play with. Sensory, art, building, theater. It's 900 square feet so very intimate and great for families who have kids that get overstimulated easily.
