Parents and caregivers are responsible for their child(ren) during Stay and Play and are expected to be actively observing their child(ren) at all times for safety.
What to expect:
Our Stay and Play program is 90 minutes of hands-on play, in an area thoughtfully designed for young children. This area includes space for children to run, balance, climb, explore art materials, build, create, engage with “loose parts” and imaginary play and of course get messy in our mud kitchen! There will always be something new for your child to discover at every stay and play session. At Muddy Buddies we set- up play invitations then allow the children time to engage and experiment with the materials at their own pace. We end our play sessions with bubbles!
Parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to connect with others, observe their child’s play and join in the fun!
Everyone will benefit from fresh air and quality time spent in nature!
A Muddy Buddies teacher is present to act as a facilitator; support and observe children’s play, supply materials and answer any questions.

Pop-up Events
About our Pop-Up Events:
We offer fun, outdoor family events! Pop-up events are based around a theme to inspire creativity and enthusiasm. Our events bring families together and promote child-led play through open-ended play invitations. Pop-up events are geared to young children (ages 7 and under) however, we believe that you’re never too old to play! If your older child is interested, please sign them up and come play! Parents and caregivers are responsible for their child(ren) during pop-up events and are expected to be actively observing their child(ren) at all times for safety.
Pop-up events will be advertised here on our website and on Facebook and Instagram. Details and cost will vary.
