Exhibits


The Rose Room

A cushioned area for our youngest clients: infants and toddlers.  There are inclined areas and short tunnels to make navigation exciting!  It offers sensory stimulation through interactive murals, activity cubes, a custom built ball pit, and mirrors!  Breastfeeding moms can find a comfy chair nearby. 

The Rose Room also includes a video and book on tape lending library for annual members.

 

 

 

 

Arts and Crafts and Magnet/Chalk Bridge

This area is dedicated to every type of arts and crafts.   Children can make projects and take them home.  Within the art exhibit is a two story bridge for chalk and magnets. A large magnetic wall and magnets provide a place to explore how magnets work. The second story chalk wall allows children to draw pictures as big as a wall!

This is a place where drawing on the wall is okay!

 

 

 

 

 

Construction and Take Apart Center

This area provides imaginative building opportunities with all sizes, shapes, and materials, from Legos to large foam building blocks.  The Take Apart Center provides kids with tools to take apart and experiment with old radios and other electronic devices to see what the insides look like.
