We wanted to share what’s coming up for the rest of January, and there’s so much to be excited about.

First up is the soft opening of our newest location in Cranberry, which feels like a big milestone for our community. Then Emily in Oakdale is hosting a fun glow sensory play event, and our Spectrum Club is wrapping things up with a Harry Potter party.

They’re all going to be a great time, and we hope to see you at one of these events. Come hang out with us, meet other families, and enjoy some fun together.

You can find more details and RSVP through our Facebook events.
