Come Play! Info

Little Sprouts Garden

Our little sprouts garden is a protected space for just children under the age of 2 to play. It's a colorful, inviting, fenced and gated play space with activities, books and toys geared to the growth and developmental needs of children ages birth to 2. You will find a soft rainbow climber, exersaucers, baby swings, bouncy seats, stacking rings, a wall mounted mirror to flirt with, a comfortable rocking chair for snuggling with their favorite grown-up and much more! You are welcome to take any of the portable items from the garden into the surrounding play or seating areas in order to play with older siblings, but we thank you for your cooperation in helping keep the garden a safe "under 2" play space.

Imaginative Play & Building Area

Our newly expanded imaginative play and building area provides a nice break from all the physical challenges of navigating huge inflatables! We have a fun play house, kitchen, play food and grocery shopping baskets. Food and kitchen items provide excellent opportunities for practicing skills like sorting and classifying objects, as well as learning about the food groups. ("Let's put all of the fruit in the red box...")

Across from our imaginative play area is our ever expanding building area. Here kids can construct their own buildings, roadways, fences, etc., with large, easy to handle wooden blocks. We have a variety of large cars and trucks that can be incorporated into their play in this area as well. In addition, train lovers will delight in the opportunity to play on our mounted track or create their own on the floor. We have also just added a brand-new workbench for your little craftsman! There are several tools and projects that can be constructed with soft, child friendly foam, faux wood pieces. Also in this area, we have added many new books to our library. Because sometimes grownups need an excuse to sit and rest for a minute!(wink-wink!)

We have a variety of other toys and enrichment activities that will be available during our age-specific play sessions on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10am-noon (during the school year) and also during our general open play sessions. These items may include hula hoops, hippety-hop balls, scooter boards, jump ropes, balance boards, parachute, bubbles, and large ride-on toys. Some of these items may not be available at ALL sessions, as we reserve the right to use our discretion as to which ones are age appropriate, are SAFE for certain age groups, good to have out during busy times, etc.

Special Needs

Children with special needs are always welcome to come play at Bouncing Off the Wall! We'd like to let you know that we are an active, fast paced, highly stimulating, and often quite noisy environment however, as this isn't always something that is compatible with all children. There are definitely times of the day and week that are quieter than others, so if that is something that you are interested in hearing more about, please ask. If your child's particular need is not outwardly apparent, it would be helpful if you would share it with us when you come in. That way we can discuss what pieces of our equipment might be more suitable for them, safer for them to navigate, how our staff can best interact with them if we need to reinforce a safety rule, etc. Also, if there is anything that we can do to accommodate your needs or help either of you feel more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to ask.

All of our play sessions with the exception of our age-specific mornings on Wednesday and Friday (during the school year), are open to all ages. Parents are allowed and encouraged to join in the bouncing fun with their children. Engaging in play with your child gives you new insights into them that simply observing them play does not. We only ask that you exercise EXTREME caution while bouncing around children and that you be a good role model of our safety rules. Your body weight can have very strong effects on children near you in an inflatable environment, and can cause them to lose control of their own body quickly. We have to watch out for not just your child's safety, but for others as well. If at any time we feel that an adult's bouncing style is a cause for concern, we reserve the right to remove them from play immediately. Please don't take this as a personal attack...after all, our childrens safety is all our #1 concern. Likewise, if you ever see an adult playing that is making you uncomfortable, please let a staff person know so that we can address it promptly before someone gets hurt.
