If you're itching for a couple of hours of free time on Saturday, you can take the kids to the Downtown Community School for Open Play.
The kids can engage in free-play, mud-play, dramatic-play, junk-collage and more while you hang out with other parents or do your own thing in the community work space (yes, there's wifi).
Play times are separated by age into two groups.
The 3- and 4-year-old children can have their time from 9-11:30 a.m. and 5-to-7-year-old kids can play from 1-3:30 p.m.
This is the first time the school has offered open play, but there are plans to host it on a monthly basis.
