Geared toward children 0-4, a registered non-profit, run mostly by volunteers. Lilypad is a playspace with daily playgroups at 1234 S. Broad Street at Wharton Street. Plus visit Lilypad Thrift in our basement level for gently used baby and children toys, clothes, gear and more! First playgroup visit is always free. Playgroups are drop-in. Just lock up your stroller outside, come up our stairs into
the blue door! Show up anytime during the playgroup hours and sign in with your email and stay and play a while. Keep an eye on your little ones and relax on our comfy couches. Most playgroups are all ages, in our case, that means newborn up to age 4, with additional baby playgroups open to babies 0-24 months only. Birthday Rentals available at select times on weekends. Visit our website for details and then email us to check availability for your child's party. Lilypad membership is available for $100 per family per year. Come to all playgroups for a year for free! Please support our mission to connect families by becoming a member today at lilypadphilly.org. Donations of gently used baby and children items accepted during playgroup, store and sidewalk sale hours. (no car seats, bathtubs, or large baby furniture accepted)
Lilypad Thrift is located on the basement level and is open select hours Monday, Thursday and Friday or online anytime. Online orders can be picked up during any playgroup, once you receive your pickup confirmation email. Saturday Sidewalk Sales are held monthly (we usually skip them in January, February, April + August). Proceeds from Lilypad Thrift and CityKids Consignment Sale fund our playspace, a registered non-profit. CityKids will return to Old Pine Community Center in early April 2024.
