Drop Off Programs
Join us for our in demand drop-off programs, including Schools' Out Day Camps, Play School and Date Nights!
We all need a bit of time back to ourselves, whether it’s time for some self-care or just to sit in a silent room for 3 hours.
It’s time for you to do you.
Meet Our Teacher!
Katie O’Brien, Head Teacher
Katie has been pivotal to the Village Playspace’s Enrichment Programs. She helped develop and kick off our Drop-Off Programs and Enrichment Classes. She leads our assistant teachers and creates all our lesson plans for Play School, Day Camps and Summer School.
Katie has 10 years of experience as an infant and toddler preschool teacher. She has taken the past few years off from working in a classroom to spend time with her 5 year old son.
We are thrilled to have her in our Village. Our kids love her and yours will too!
Playschool Drop Off
This is a once a week drop off class for 2–4 years-olds to prepare for the preschool environment. The class consists of a story time, group activity or craft, a featured guest with a specific class like music, yoga, author, dentist etc. and then open play.
Weekly, Wednesdays from 9 - 11:30AM
This program is set on a 4 week schedule and requires a monthly commitment to ensure your little one maximizes learning and is able to progress throughout the program.
School’s Out Day Camps
No school? No problem!
We have you covered (for 3 hours, at least!)

“We have gone to the Village Playspace for open play and had our daughter attend four weeks of their summer camp. Both experiences were amazing, the staff is attentive and loving, the space is inviting and entertaining for children of many ages. I was happy to know that my daughter was learning and having fun while at summer camp. I feel very grateful for her experience!”
