    Child's Age: 2 years
    Recommend?: Good to Go!
    Date of Visit: January 2012
    Event/ Program/ Class Name: Saturday drop in
    Activities We Did: Painting, playdoh, circle time and played with toys.
    Good to Go!: This is a great place for little ones to run around and play with various toys. It's really open and huge. Their toys may not be the newest but they do have lots them. I like how they didn't force you to join in the circle time and the only thing they put away was the large climbing structure in the middle of the room, while everything else was still available.
    Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement: It might get really busy during the day. Their limit is 50 kids at a time, and I heard that sometimes they reach that capacity, and it gets very full with strollers during the week when one session lets out and the other begins.
    Quick Tips for Others: They have a recommended donation even though they are funded by OEYC. It sounds like they are having issues with having to pay rent for the space that used to be for free before.

    Children's Ages: 10 months; 3 years
    Recommend?: Good to Go!
    Event/ Program/ Class Name: Drop In Play
    Activities We Did: Circle Time, crafts, snacking, playing, climbing...
    Good to Go!: This is a wonderful space and environment for young kids. I brought my son on Tuesday evenings for years and he loved it. He participated in the free yoga for toddlers and loved every part of the space from the toy animals to the painting station. It is a great place especially if you have more than one child because you can see them wherever they are. They also have a kid sized toilet which is wonderful and my son loved using their potty!
    Quick Tips for Others: Saturdays at Kimbourne can be somewhat insane. On Tuesday evenings when we went it was always nice and quiet.
