The first days of school is exciting, but it can be stressful! Parents and teachers are feeling the crunch, but what about kids? Whether they are going into a new grade or just starting school altogether, kids may also be nervous about this new adventure. How can parents help make the transition from home to school or summer to fall easier? Simple--plan a playdate at Monkey Joe’s Appleton! Making the transition to school easier and more fun will benefit everyone, from kids to parents to teachers.

When you get the new class roster, call around or send out an email and organize a simple get together at Monkey Joe’s. This doesn’t have to be a fancy or super organized event; Monkey Joe’s can handle walk in groups of almost any size. Just pick a date and invite other families to join yours in the Jungle.

At Monkey Joe’s, kids can get to know their new classmates in a fun, low-stress environment. Just like when adults meet new people, kids will enjoy having built-in activities to focus on and talk about while they make friends. Not only that, but active play helps reduce anxiety! Meanwhile, parents can chat in our parent zone, take pictures, or discuss their goals and hopes for the upcoming year. Everyone can pay their own way, or you can call ahead and ask us about special group pricing!
