Overview

For Ages 16 month to five years

Every effort is the result of a synergy of experiences and people. The Funshop program is no exception. It represents a culmination of over 40 years of work with children and families. As a company of people and collective hearts, the Funshop staff is proud to serve the Springfield community. Funshop is an exciting, early education program for parents and children “together.” It has been uniquely designed to provide the optimal one-on-one learning experience. The program offers a unique, play-based environment where parents and children can be interactively engaged in the wonderful world of learning. The foundation of the innovative Funshop experience is a firm belief that parents are not only a child’s first teachers but also his or her most trusted and influential educators.

There are a ton of tantalizing toys and interest areas that will capture your children’s imagination, strengthen their communication skills, exercise their decision-making skills and enhance their sensory motor skills. At least one parent, relative, or caregiver must accompany each child to every class.

FAQs

General

What is the age of the kids in your program?

We accept registrations from kids 16months to 5 years old.

What are the dates and times of your program?

Funshop is a 4–6-week program, where you attend one class a week, for 1 hour each day! Classes are offered Tuesday – Saturday at both the morning and afternoon. Ex: 9am, 1030am, 12pm and 5pm

Do I have to stay with my child for the duration of the program?

Absolutely! It is a requirement! FunShop is designed for parents and kids together! The program is meant for a child to bring an adult, parent, or guardian to guide their visit.

Do I need to bring anything with me to Funshop?

Nothing is required besides registration and fees! You only need to bring your smiling faces and be ready to learn! Bookbags can be helpful to prepare students for preschool or kindergarten.

Can I bring the entire family with me to Funshop?

We highly recommend you only bring the Child who is registered and one parent/guardian. This way the child and parent/ or guardian can get the best bonding and learning experience possible. If there are younger siblings who are not able to walk, and you are unable to find a sitter, you may bring the baby but they must be off the ground in a stroller, or being held by a guardian.

Do you offer birthday parties or rentals at Funshop?

Currently we do not offer birthdays or rentals at Funshop facility. Please check back with us on rentals and birthday parties, as we are working on offering these packages.
