Ryder was one of our players at the Playhouse. She and her mom, Claire, are good friends of Liz Way. Liz often ran the Playhouse when I was going to Stanford for my own cancer treatment. Like many of you, both Claire and Liz lost everything in the fire. Please keep Ryder, Claire, and Liz in your prayers during this difficult time. I know it's a difficult time for all of us, but if you are able to donate anything, it is most appreciated. Thank you

I am thankful for my Playhouse family! The memories of children happily playing here is priceless! Hugs 💖

RESOURCES TO SUPPORT CAMP FIRE SURVIVORS

docs.google.com When evacuating, take your animals with you. Make sure to bring water, food, bedding, and any containment devices necessary. If you are unable to take large animals, leave them in open pastures and leave food out. DO NOT lock them up in a barn.

Please visit North State Parent magazine for ideas to entertain your children. I'm working on other ideas too.

To our families: Sunny Gardens in Chico is offering free open play sessions to all Camp Fire victims. Ages 0-5

My thoughts and prayers are with all our families during this devastating time. Please comment that you are safe! Hugs

The Playhouse is closed due to mandatory evacuations. We are safe and praying for all those who are affected by the fire.

Good morning players! We will be having Toddler Time beginning at 10:15 and there are still some spots available. It is a 4 week class for ages 18 mo - 4.5 yrs.

Come on in and spend some time with your little one. Our Open Play session today is from 12:30 - 2:00 pm and costs $5.00 per child. Hope to see you!

Toddler Time will start with a structured time for: stories, music, art, or drama and the remainder of time will be free play in the Playhouse.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED
We are currently painting and doing repairs. We will re-open as soon as we can!

Holiday Reminder: No Friendship Friday today! Closed on Saturday but open Monday.

Here is the schedule for our fall classes that will start in late October, 2018. Space is limited and I will offer a slight discount for students who register for more than 1 class. Complete class descriptions are under "Services" and on our website under Classes.

Friendship Friday, for ages 5 yr and up, is from 2:30-4:00 pm. Tomorrow we will be making friendship bracelets. The cost is $10 per child or 2 punches on your card. I hope we see lots of friends!

Well after 4 hours of cleaning and disinfecting toys, we are ready to play again! Both sessions tomorrow are free.

Due to a severe stomach virus reported, we will be closed Monday in order to disinfect the Playhouse. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but the health and safety of our players and families is far too important to take a chance of passing this flu around.

We are proud that we have never had to close for reports of sickness or lice before.

Please check our FB page for updates, and possible Free Sessions to make up for today.

Thank you for your understanding

Good Friday morning. Two important messages:
First, a reminder that this afternoon's Friendship Friday's activity is making Slime. Space is limited so message me if your kid(s) plan on attending.

Also, the afternoon session tomorrow- (Saturday 12:30-2:00) is full.

Here is the schedule for the Free Sessions. I will also put this flyer in a permanent spot on this page for easy reference.

FREE sessions are back! Thanks to a mini-grant from Butte First 5! The grant was originally written to offer 3 free sessions a week for 12 weeks, however, today we requested to amend the grant to offer more free sessions each week for the next 6 weeks. We felt that due to the current hazardous air quality, our families would benefit from having more opportunities for indoor play. Please help spread the word about these free sessions! I am working on the schedule and will post soon, but we will be open tomorrow for 2 sessions. 10:00-11:30, and 12:30 - 2:00 pm .....BOTH SESSIONS WILL BE FREE!

Hello players! We are back and will be open Friday morning. Come by and play at the Playhouse!

Final week to register for the Aug/Sept classes. Check them out under services.
