Hosting an all-day play space and engaging, imaginative drop-in workshops and classes geared toward kids ages 6 months to 12 years old, it’s also outfitted with a cafe for parents to enjoy some getaway time without having to go too far away. Kids can sing along during Folk Songs with Grandpa Clyde and adults can bask in a timeout during the aptly named Parent Time Out! sessions, during which children participate in guided play without need for parental hovering. There’s also yoga, dancing and even gardening for kids. by Linda Koffman Linda Koffman is an SF-based freelance writer and editor. Also a beginner gardener by day/performing songwriter by night, she feels grateful to live a life of extremes balancing plenty of contemplative silence with rocking out in a band. When not writing, she keeps her hands busy (and dirty) with old guitar strings and soil, and enjoys engaging with the Bay Area’s diverse environmental and cultural beauty. She loves puns to a fault and shamelessly laughs at her own jokes. Subscribe. Follow. Share.
