Senses A parent-led sensory gym for all children ages 1 to 6. Senses is a parent-led sensory gym for children ages 1 to 6. We feature a 24-foot tactile wall.

We are targeting those children who are autistic, have sensory processing disorders, have Downs syndrome, Aspergers, etc. However, we firmly believe that all children can benefit from the activities at the gym. We are, therefore, seeking children of all abilities. This wall is unique and handmade! We have musical instruments on the wall, locks, buckles, gears, fabric to touch, sand art, lighted sw

itches and many other items. We have monkey bars, a Jumparoo, a walking path, a play house, a 12-foot caterpillar tunnel. We also feature a 4-foot long, wall-mounted pixel box (light bright). We have one room dedicated to snuggle swings and a crash pad. Our 3rd room is dedicated as our light sensory room. In that we have many different varieties of lights. We have fiber optic, bubble lamps with fish, a giant lava lamp and a 6 foot long light table with fun toys. We ask that shoes be removed and clean socks be worn during each session. And to help maintain sterility we ask anyone coming in to use the hand sanitizer located at the front door. The gym is sterilized after each session. We ask for $7 per child for open gym play. We also have punch cards which can be a bit more economical. Ask one one of our staff members for more information. Please call Holly at 317-370-8238 or Don at 317-398-6708 if you have any questions.

Senses will be CLOSED tonight as The Golden Bear Preschool enjoys their grandparents evening! We will reopen Friday from 10-2.

And, GREAT NEWS! To celebrate our 10 year anniversary we are doing a "flash sale" on Saturday. We are open between 9:00 - 4:00 on Saturday and we are dropping our prices from $7 to $3 for THAT DAY ONLY as a thank you to everyone who has supported us for 10 years. We expect to be busy Saturday morning but the crowd things out around 2:00 so if you're looking for a more quiet play time, considering coming between 2:00 - 4:00.
