Not sure about loose parts? Join us for a special playdate designed for little ones to explore, create, and move in their own way—hosted in partnership with Ivybrook Academy!

Instead of traditional gym equipment, children will engage with open-ended materials like boxes, planks, fabric, and tubes that can be built with, combined, and reimagined in endless ways. This kind of play gives kids the freedom to experiment, problem-solve, and connect with others while following their own curiosity.

Every child’s experience will look different, and that’s the magic of it! While the little ones play, moms can connect, chat, and enjoy time together as part of our FIT4MOM village.

A special thank you to Ivybrook Academy for providing the materials and sharing their expertise on the value of loose parts play, helping bring this experience to life for our village. Come ready to play alongside your little one while we take care of all the cleanup!
