Pearachute

Pearachute

Pearachute is a new company to the SF Bay Area. Pearachute is also in places such as Chicago and Fort Worth. It is very similar to Little Lane. Those of you that have had Little Lane may have heard of Pearachute. Little Lane is now closed and no longer exists and Pearachute has similar classes as well as a lot of the same companies that were on Little Lane. Some classes/companies that you can book on Pearachute are, Destination Art, My Gym, Junior Gym, Fit 4 mom, Imagination Playhouse, Peek Boo Factory, Play Haven, La Petite Playhouse, Peek a doodle kids club, Rockin Tots, Seesaw, creative canopy, Bumble, Super Soccer star, Scribble me happy and more. This is perfect for anyone who wants to take the children out to play, for example My Gym is 1 class a week plus free play and you may not want to commit to that but you can join Pearachute and drop in to My Gym once a month or whenever you want. Most places you can only attend 3 times a month. So if you want to go to My Gym or Playe Haven 3 times a month you can. I really liked Little Lane and I hope that Pearachute it great too. Right now you can try Pearachute for free, You will get 4 credits so you can attend 4 different drop in events such as a day at Play Haven or La Petite Playhouse. The options are endless.

Pearachute (Here's What We Know)

Pearachute

Here is what we know about Pearachute. It is a company that will be coming to the SF Bay Area. They already have locations in Chicago, Kansas City, and Dallas/Fort Worth. It is very similar to Little Lane and it will be taking over since Little Lane is closing. Based on their website it looks like there will be three different plans. They are as follows. The 4 Credit plan for $39, the 9 credit plan for $79 a month, and the 30 credit plan for a whopping $199. All unused credits will roll over to the next month and they also offer a flexpack with no monthly membership fee and the flexibility to use all of your passes over a 12 month period. Some companies from Little Lane that are on Pearachute in other cities are My Gym, Super Soccer Stars, Tutu School, Rockin Jump, and Pump It Up. Hopefully these companies will be on Pearchute for the SF Bay Area. So far there is a wait list for Pearachute and the company has not released the name of their partners.

Little Lane Closing

Little Lane Closing

Little Lane is a website where you can book several different places such as Gymboree, The San Francisco Zoo, Gymnastics, Dance, and many other activities. I love using Little Lane. It was recently announced that Little Lane will be winding down on September 1st. If you really like Little Lane or the ability to book many different play spots then you may like Pearachute. Pearachute is a company based out in October and they will be coming to the San Francisco Bay Area. According to little lane all of your unused credits can be transferred over to Pearachute. If you are someone like me who has a substantial amount of credits that they have not used then this is a good thing because you will not lose those credits. I would be more upset if I only had a few week to use my credits but I am happy that they will transfer over. I am learning more about Pearachute everyday and I am interested in what companies they will offer. I am hoping they with have the same companies that are currently on Little Lane and I am also exciting to find out what new companies they will have. Hopefully it is a smooth transition and all of our credits transfer over without any issues. For anyone that has Little Lane and has responded to their E-mail about closing, please be careful as they were posting replies into one E-mail and complete strangers can see what you have written to Little Lane and what they have written back to you. I can see this as a privacy concern and I am not too happy about this because people private information should stay private and they should be replying to each person individually. Once Pearachute opens I will be posting about what companies they have to offer and the cost. If you would like to get on the Pearachute waiting list you can sign up at the link below. Tell me in the comments, how do you feel about Little Lane closing? And what do you think about the new copmany?

Goofy's Kitchen

Goofy's Kitchen

As many of you know my son Alex, just turned 3 in June. For this birthday this year we took him to Disneyland. One of the placed that we celebrated was Goofy's Kitchen. We went there for dinner on Sunday June 11th, 2017 My sons birthday is June 12th. Goofy's Kitchen was awesome. When you get there you pay and then you go and take a picture with Goofy, when we went Mickey was visiting for dinner time so my son got to take a photo with Mickey. He was a little shy so they let us come back after dinner to retake the photo. Once seated we went and got some food and my so warmed after after a little while. Characters came to our table and took pictures with my son and they also did a parade. My son loved it and he had an amazing time. He got to see Minnie Mouse, Chip n Dale, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse. We will definitely go back the next time we make it out to Disneyland.

My Top 5 Indoor Play Spaces For Toddlers

My Top 5 Indoor Play Spaces For Toddlers

As Most of you know I am a stay at home mom of a toddler. My son just turned 3 and he has been going to many place spots since he was about 1 year old. These are 5 of my favorite places or should I say 5 of his favorite places because both mom and child should like the place. I find these places great for a few hours of fun and play.  Here is a list. Let's start with my sons all time favorite, Gymboree Play & Learn.

Gymboree

Gymboree play & Music is a place where child ages 0-5 can take classes as well as come and play. There are currently over 700 locations in 40+ countries around the world. Gymboree was designed by experts in play as well as education. What I really like is that these classes can grow with your child and they can go there for many years. My son has been going there on and off since he was about 8 months old. They have 4 types of classes. Play & Learn, Music, Art, as well as their new preschool class. The prices vary by location but in San Francisco it costs $95 a month for Music, Art, as well as Play & Learn and $165 for school skills. All classes are once a week and there are 3 opens play times each week where your little one can come and play which is included in the price.  Your child can come to the preschool (school skills) class up to 5 times a week but $165 is the price for once a week and the price for 5 days is about $565 My son is currently in the preschool class, we drop him off for 2 hours once a week, we sneak it every 30 minutes or so and watch him through the window. I love to see him doing art or learning new things and interacting with the other children. I was with him 24/7 before he started this class so now I get a small 2 hour break once a week which is nice. There are many balls to play with there as well as slides and cars, trains, and puzzles. It is an awesome place.

 

Play Haven 

Next on my list is Play Haven. I really like play haven because there are a few different stations for art. There is a chalk board, a big board for painting, play doh station, another paint station and a station where you can draw or color or add items with glue. There is always a book area, a rock climbing wall, a train table, and an area for babies or smaller kids with toys. They also have free Wi-Fi as well a snack for purchase. You are also able to host birthday parties there. A single visit will cost you $14 and then there are discounts for multi passes or monthly passes as well.  There is also a nursing room an outdoor space with a play house. My son loves painting there and doing many different things. 

Peek-A-Boo Factory

Next on my list is Peek-A-Boo Factory. Peek-A-Boo Factory is located in the West Portal area of San Francisco.  There are a few different areas there, one for babies and a big area with slides then you can climb through. There are also party rooms you can rent out and an area with tables are chairs so you can eat and bring food or lunch. I like that this place gives both you and your child an invisible hand stamp so they know that you guys are together. My son really loves the colorful slides here and he loves to go down them, sometimes he even asks me to join him. You will not be disappointed if you choose to come here. Peek-A-Boo is $10 per child.

 

My Gym

Next on my list is My Gym. My Gym is another place that is similar to Gymboree. They offer classes as well as free play but you can only attend the free play time if you are a member. They are a little different than Gymboree because they have hooks in the ceiling where they hang swings and other things during class. They also have a trampoline and a ball pit which is pretty neat and lots of fun for the kids. My Gym is $92 a month in San Carlos, CA but they do have many other locations.

 

 La Petite Playhouse

The last spot on my list is La Petite Playhouse located in Redwood City, California. My son loves this place too. There are slides, a soccer court, a basketball court, and a play kitchen as well as a climbing area. I really like this place and how they have very soft soccer and basketballs. I also love the big slides that are similar to the slides over at Peek-A-Boo. It is an awesome place. It costs $10 per visit and socks are required. They also have pajama play for $6 the last hour of the day. This is also a great place for your little ones to explore and play.

Here are the websites if you would like to check out any of these places. This list is honest and 100% my own opinion.

Little Lane

Little Lane 

         What is Little Lane? Little Lane is a monthly subscription service for children. It is for anyone who wants to explore many different places. You can find and book all kings of amazing kids activities. There are lots of venues, museums, zoos, and more. I think it offers a perfect variety. Why pay for one month of Gymboree, swimming, or soccer when your child can do it all and at any time he or she wants. If one day your child wants to go to Gymboree they can go to Gymboree, maybe next week they want to go to dance then they can go to dance, and then maybe they want to play soccer then they can go to soccer. It is really neat and I love having the opportunity to take my son to many different places. Some places we live to go to are Play Have, Gymboree, My Gym, San Francisco Zoo, Peek-a-boo factory, and the list goes on and on. I love little lane and I would love to share it with you. This is a service you will not be disappointed with and I am so happy I joined. I will post a list below of some of the companies that work with little lane.
