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.

Treehouse and Birds
Below, find a comfy space and snuggle up
with books and read the afternoon away! Coming soon is a regular
story hour time. On the second floor of the tree house, you'll find
real nests from local birds on display, bird books, as well as a
colorful mural displaying birds' wingspans.

miniature kitchen and restaurant area and practice their culinary
skills.
