Break the Ice by Jumping at the Kenosha Jungle!

Posted on Aug 11, 2017

 

Is it already time for school to start? Parents and teachers are definitely feeling the crunch of the end of summer, but what about kids? They may be excited about starting school or moving into a different grade, but they may also be nervous about this new adventure. How can parents help make the transition from home to school or summer to fall easier?

Don’t panic--make back to school easier and more fun for everyone by planning a playdate at Monkey Joe’s Kenosha!

When you get the new class roster, call around or send out an email and schedule a get together at Monkey Joe’s. Don’t stress yourself out trying to make this a very organized or fancy event. Remember, Monkey Joe’s can handle walk in groups of almost any size. All you need to do is pick a date and invite other families to join yours in the Jungle. Each family can pay their own way, or you can call ahead and ask us about available group pricing.

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. Plus, active play helps reduce anxiety. Meanwhile, parents can chat in our parent zone, take pictures, or discuss their hopes for the upcoming year. Everyone wins!

At Monkey Joe’s Kenosha, we’re the playdate experts. Come join us for an unforgettable icebreaker and start the new year on the right foot!
