Our mission: increase childhood literacy & a love for books by kindergarten.
Storytime @ the Little Lab
The Little Lab is our story-based play space for kids ages 2–6.
While you work, your child spends three hours with our Story Guides reading really good books, making crafts, hunting for new words, asking big questions, eating snacks, making friends, and (of course) playing.
Each week starts with a new wondering — like How do we say goodbye? or What does it mean to be brave? — and we use stories, play, and hands-on activities to explore it together. We don't separate learning time from play time. For young children, play is learning — and we take that seriously. Here’s a sample of what you might see:
This week’s wondering - “What helps things grow?”
Today’s stories - “The Curious Garden” & “After the Fall”
Today’s craft - Mini terrariums

“We believe children are born with a capacity for wonder, an instinct for goodness, and an eye for beauty. Our job isn’t to create those things. Our job is to notice them and protect them.”
Helping Hands

Sometimes you just need someone to hold the baby. Helping Hands is a calm, caring space where one of our staff members looks after your little one while you work.
