Help Shape the Future of Our Playspace! 💛

In collaboration with Allegheny College’s Community Impact Hub (https://alleghenyhub.com/), we’re inviting parents and caregivers in our community to participate in a short anonymous survey to help us better understand the needs of local families and young children.

📝 10 quick questions
⏱ Takes just a few minutes
🔒 Completely anonymous

Your feedback will help guide future improvements to our indoor playspace, including our environment, equipment, and upcoming family programming.

This research will support actionable recommendations that strengthen:

✨ Children’s social and emotional development
✨ Caregiver support, connection, and empowerment
✨ Sustainable services for local families and early childhood wellbeing

We value your voice and would be so grateful for your participation!

What if the strongest connection with your child wasn’t built during the big moments—but during ordinary play?

When we join children in their world, even for a few minutes, we’re communicating something powerful:

“I’m here.”
“I see you.”
“You matter.”

Connection grows through small moments repeated consistently.

This is the heart behind the Raising Wonder Foundation. And what a joy it has been to already see so many of our amazing local families participating in this type of connection!

So if you’re looking for a place to play, we’ve got you covered!

What’s your child’s favorite way to play right now?

💭 We’ve quickly realized that booking ahead is going to be a helpful feature for our playspace visitors!

Here’s how to do it:
✅ 1. Go to raisingwonder.org
✅ 2. Select the red “plan your visit”
✅ 3. Select the green “save your spot”

And then follow from there!

🤩 Thank you so much for booking your playspace session ahead - it helps us more easily keep an enjoyable capacity for both kids and their grownups, and it helps you make sure that when you arrive, there’ll be a spot for you!

Although, if you happen to be nearby and want to last minute swing in, we can still check you in as a walk in if we have space! 🤗
