Cooperative play.

  • Want to help socialize your toddler before they go to daycare, preschool or kindergarten?

  • Need a way to burn off their energy during the cold winter months when the playgrounds are covered in ice?

  • Looking to make connections with other families in the community?

  • Craving a little time to chat with other adults over coffee while your kiddo plays with other neighborhood children?

Our co-operative playgroup meets 2 mornings a week for preschool-style activities: Every day the children enjoy free play in a large open space, eat snack with their new friends and enjoy circle time with songs and stories, all with their trusted caregiver nearby!

BFP offers:

  • A very large indoor space with ride-on toys (tricycles, cars, etc) for Gross Motor Play on even the coldest days!

  • A variety of Toys for different ages, so you don't have to fill your house with them!

  • Periodic Crafts, so they can explore their creative side without making a mess at home!

  • Monthly themed Parties with decorations, crafts and other fun activities.

  • Tables, chairs and high chairs to enjoy your nut/sesame-free Snack you brought from home as well as complimentary Coffee, Tea for the adults!

  • A warm place to gather and enjoy Community and Playmates all year long!
