May 28th—here's where I'm taking my kids this week

Our free weekly email keeps you in the loop of local kid-friendly events and things to do 🤝

*These aren’t ALL the events happening this week in and around LA, just the best (IMO). We keep it short and curated—follow on IG + TT for more!

In Partnership with Play 2 Progress
Our friends at Play 2 Progress are hosting a free Pre-Preschool Open House, this Saturday June 1st from 10-11:30am. Enjoy a 30-minute class with access to the sensory gym followed by a tour of the space and a meet and greet with staff at their West Hollywood location! Their parent and child program will run twice a week in the fall for kids who are between 16-36 months.
Spaces are very limited, RSVP HERE!

We featured Play 2 Progress back in August and have been loving their drop-in classes each week. Here are 3 reasons why my kids (ages 2.5 and 4) love P2P:
1. The zip line and foam pit are a BIG hit with my 4 year old!
2. They offer 1: 1 OT and group OT.
3. They have a “cozy corner” that helps calm down big feelings and has been so helpful during session.

Play 2 Progress is a hands-on play experience for kids, designed by Occupational Therapists, that includes parental support and group classes with a focus on sensory integration! They have 3 locations: Studio City, West Hollywood & Santa Monica!
