Break the Ice by Jumping at the Waukesha Jungle!

Posted on Aug 11, 2017

 

The first days of school can be so stressful, and not just for parents and teachers. Kids are probably excited about starting school, especially if they have older siblings who have already done it, 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? Simple--plan a playdate at Monkey Joe’s Waukesha!

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 very organized event; Monkey Joe’s can handle walk in groups of almost any size, so just pick a date and invite other families to join yours in the Jungle. Kids will be able to 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 is great for the brain and helps reduce anxiety. Meanwhile, parents can chat in our parent zone, take pictures, or discuss the upcoming year. Everyone can pay their own way, or you can call ahead and ask us about special group pricing!

Making the transition to school easier and more fun will benefit everyone, from kids to parents to teachers. At Monkey Joe’s Waukesha we’re your playdate experts. Come join us for an unforgettable icebreaker and start the new year on the right foot!
