​

No. We do not allow parties of any kind during our programming or TBC PLAYDATES. We allow guests to bring in gifts, but we draw a strict line at bringing in any outside catering, decorations, or re-arranging tables and/or furniture to accommodate your celebration. Doing so may result in you being asked to leave. If you are bringing your child to a class/event or TBC PLAYDATE on their birthday, please instead let us know and we will have a little surprise for the birthday child! Alternatively, please contact us to request our space rental form for a private birthday celebration event! 

​

Yes! We make sure the playspace is as comfortable as possible at all times. Our playspace capacity is 30 children. Registration and payment for all classes and events are required online, ahead of your visit. Please note that due to State regulations capacity will be lowered during the ongoing pandemic.

​

*Can I pay for classes or events at the door? 

All classes and events require online registration and payment. Please see 'Our Programs' tab for more information and registration details. This helps us plan ahead and make sure our events do not get too crowded!
