Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this playdate?

This is a relaxed, come-and-go event, lasting anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours. There’s no pressure to stay for a specific time.

Do I have to say goodbye?

Absolutely not! Feel free to arrive and leave at your own pace. This is a stress-free zone for you and your family.

Can I bring other children or friends?

Of course! All abilities and ages are welcome. This is a safe space for children with diverse needs, but everyone is encourage to join the fun!

I'm worried about elopement (wandering off).

We understand! We’ve marked with an asterisk fenced-in parks on the flyer. However, parents/guardians are always responsible for supervising their children and ensuring their safety.

How can I identify other attendees?

We’ll have volunteers with flyers and name tags (optional). We also encourage everyone to wear bright neon or yellow clothing to make it easy to spot each other.

Feeling overwhelmed?

Let your child take the lead during the playdate, and if it doesn’t work out, please join us again next time! This is a series of fun, casual events to connect with other families.
