re: PLAY music

"My 20-month-old twins love Play.  We go every week for music class with Angie, and we can't recommend that enough. It's a blast, and Angie is awesome. (So is Keith. We've taken his class, too.) We always end up staying after our class is over so we can use their playroom. It's perfectly geared for toddlers, with lots of fun, safe, educational toys and a great library. The owners, Anne and James, are the best. They're so nice and helpful and great with the kids. They're always running out to give me a stroller lock while I wrangle my kids. Until my kids outgrow it, we'll be regulars there!"

re: Messy Mixed Media

"My four and half year old has been taking art classes with teacher Vivian for two sessions now and she absolutely loves it. Every week she asks me when her art class is and asks me every day until we go again. The projects in class are really creative and allow the children to use their imagination with very few boundaries. The facility is neat and clean and they incorporate a lot of recycled materials which I really like too. Not only do we love the art class we love hanging out and reading books, eating snacks, and playing with all the really cool toys. This place is definitely worth checking out."

"Nadav and Shireen may not be signed up for another session, but you'll be happy to know they're leading each other in all the old songs and listening to me come up with variations of verses too :) Thanks again for a wonderful year and a half of music classes. The three of us had a great time, and these last couple sessions were particularly special, as we had formed a real community of adults and kids."

re: Parties at Play

"I wanted to thank you for helping make Maya's 2nd birthday such a special day. The party was really wonderful. All the kids had the best time playing and it was so cute to watch them all enjoying their lunch and then cake together around the big table. It's so kid-friendly! Your place really is the perfect play spot, with such a warm and welcoming vibe that brings a sense of calm and happiness to all! All of our guests felt the same way and hope to come back to Play soon!"

re: PLAY music

"Play is by far the best thing that has happened to our new family. I'm getting ready to enroll my son in his third session of classes, and couldn't be happier. He's just blossomed in his Play classes through his interactions with other children and the great teachers. What better way to start his love for music than a weekly class!"

re: PLAY music

"Just wanted to let you know we LOVED our classes last semester. Parker requests the songs every time we get in the car and when she eats breakfast. For me, it's nice to have music that I actually enjoy listening to!"

re: PLAY music

"Shireen and Nadav are still requesting specific songs from the CD when we're in the car. I think the songs created for the session were great, as was the addition of the ‘story-song' which now has them going swish swish when they talk about any animal's tail. Thanks for making kid-friendly songs so adult-enjoyable as well:) We had a great session with Angie and they absolutely love her! Every time they see a guitar, they say ‘Angie, Angie.'"

re: PLAY music

"I have rediscovered PLAY with my second child and I am loving it more than ever. The new PLAY Music classes are incredible... These songs are sophisticated yet really fun for the kids. Our teacher, Keith, is incredible. The kid's are mesmerized by his electric guitar, easy going nature and playfulness. The place itself is just as wonderful -- the most amazing wooden toys for the kids to be creative with. And with your PLAY Music membership you can access the creative area for fun anytime. I love it -- and clearly my little boy does too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place - and the music classes - for children looking for fun."

re: Parties at Play
"I'm so glad we made the decision to have Chloe's birthday party at PLAY this past weekend, rather than trying to do our own painting party at home. Chloe had a great time and parents are still telling me how much fun their kids had. Everything seemed to fall in place kind of effortlessly. Your staff was amazing - very helpful, in control of things, easy to deal with. Thanks again."

"We wanted to thank you and your staff for providing us with a beautiful program for Adam's birthday. Our guests fell in love with PLAY, and most of all, our birthday boy Adam was in seventh heaven."

"We just wanted to thank you, as the party Sunday went off perfectly. I can't tell you how many people commented on how great the space was, and Keith and Sarah were fantastic."

re: Play

"Play is my favorite place in LA to go with my toddler, and I've been taking her there since she was about 8 months old. A lot of indoor play places are massively stimulating, with florescent lights, big ball bins, etc. Play has a different vibe altogether. When you enter, it's naturally lit, with natural-fiber rugs and chairs and an enormous mural on one wall of green trees in a forest. It's surprisingly soothing considering there are usually kids running every which way. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of toys for the kids to play with--as well as a big train set and a wonderful bookshelf--and the kids clearly love it, but overall there's just a mellow, relaxed energy that's really nice for the inevitably stressed-out parents. I think it also helps prevents the kids from going into psycho mode, because I've never seen a meltdown there. There's a big community table where you can have a snack, and that's where I always chat with the other moms and dads, share information, or vent!"

"Thank you SO much for everything you and your wonderful staff did for us today at Sylvie's birthday party. The kids -- particularly Sylvie -- had a great time! (So did the adults.) Angie was awesome, and Keith and Carolina could not have been more helpful. The party was a great success. Thanks again!"

re: Play

"This is my neighborhood 'kid' place. Lucky me. Run by super nice, down-to-earth people, we're welcome to take a class or just hang out seemingly endlessly. Big enough to provide options and entertainment (many classes w/different teachers, infinite number of engaging toys, art and books) but small enough to be manageable...you can actually watch your kids play AND have a conversation. A nice group of patrons, too. And, clean. Always, super clean. A really welcome escape when home isn't cutting it anymore. My kids have gone to the classes from about 12 mo to now (2.5 yrs) and it's even more interesting. I hope it stays that way until college."

"Everyone had a GREAT time! Thank you for everything. Honestly, this was the most stress-free party I have ever done. You did such a great job taking care of everything and all the helpers were phenomenal."

re: Play

"We have taken many, many classes at Play. After moving from the westside to Burbank, we've continued taking classes there because nothing else has come close to our amazing Messy Mixed Media art classes. We've done portraits with Orit Harpaz, music class, attended special crafty workshops and we've had a wonderful time. The staff is amazing with the children and parents. The environment is very welcoming and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about it."
