Well, I am biased, but I just wanted to put a little plug here for Society Hill Playschool's After School Arts! After Playschool, from 12:30-3:00, SHS hosts a fun and creative program, and you don't even have to be enrolled in the Playschool to partake in the fun!:
Monday - Cooking
Tuesday - Science
Wednesday - Art
Thursday - Movement
Friday - Music
You can "drop in" or buy a five-pack or enroll for all Mondays, for example. For more information, contact Gloria Parris, Playschool Director, at gparris@societyhillsynagogue.org or (215) 922-6590 ext. 28.
So we finally ventured out to Little Treehouse in Chestnut Hill! We met friends there and had a lovely morning. Adults and non-crawlers are free, Jeremy was around $8 and Caleb was half. If you go after 5pm, kids are free with a $10 food purchase per child. You can also buy a ten-pack for $55.The play area is really nice -- all wooden toys and appeared very clean. Jeremy is approaching the older end of the range, but he still had a really nice time. We had lunch (you run a tab including admission, food, etc. and pay at the end). The food was good! We had paninis. Jeremy had grilled cheese and sliced apples. The tables are within view of the play area so Jeremy played a little on his own. The Little Treehouse has broadened from just a play cafe -- now they have memberships, drop-offs, classes, tumbling, concerts, and much more! We saw a birthday party and it looked like a great venue for that. We will certainly be back!
