Some Behind the scenes
Bigger bookshelf. More room to make.
Richmond more than doubles the footprint of Bowling Green. More craft tables. More books. More room to play & explore
Same Book Play thesis, same small-group ethos. Just more of the good stuff — more reading, more creativity, more letting them be little. This space will allow for so much more to expand upon book play.
Six corners. One good hour.
The Bookshelf
800+ picture books, early readers, and middle grade titles. All hand-picked, all at reach.
The Craft Tables
Sturdy workstations stocked with supplies. Three at Bowling Green, five in Richmond.
The Reading Nook
Cushions in a bay window. For the kid who wants to curl up with a story.
The Supply Station
Paint, brushes, clay, paper, googly eyes. Organized. Refilled. Generous.
The Display Wall
Where finished projects get celebrated. Your kid's art, on display.
The Sensory Bin
Curated sensory table, changed monthly to explore.
