We're happy to report that we have a new infant room teacher, and with her arrival and our move, new extended infant care!

First, we welcome Tanya Seebach, our new infant room teacher. Tanya is looking forward to having more babies to play with! Please drop by and visit her and get to know her.

Second, with the additional space in our beautiful new infant room, we are able to extend the amount of care we can provide for infants. Infant hours are now 9 AM - 1 PM daily. Instead of buying 3 hour blocks, you can now sign up for any time in 2 hour or more increments.

Can't wait to see you there!

Spring Break: Let's Go Bowling at Midway Pro Bowl April 2

posted Mar 21, 2009 9:52 PM by Unknown user

 A HUGE thank-you to all the families who signed up for our bowling fundraiser scheduled for President’s Day. Judging from the fact that over 50 people signed up, it appears bowling is a very popular option for KidsPark families.  The fundraiser was well on its way to being a hugely successful and fun time…until IT happened:  on the day of the event, the owner of Ran-Ham Lanes decided not to show up!  This was after we had conducted numerous conversations and confirmations regarding the day and time and even promising a great turnout. No explanation, no apologies from the owner, no communication with him since then despite numerous attempts.  So, to those of you who came to have a good time and ended up going elsewhere, I certainly do appreciate your flexibility and positive attitude.  You made a frustrating day that much lighter.


Since the original response to the bowling idea was so popular, we have scheduled another event, this time at a different (and more reliable) bowling alley. Here are the details:

When: Thursday, April 2 (during spring break); 10:00am - 1:00pm
Where: Midway Pro Bowl            (www.midwayprobowl.com)
1556 University Ave W
St Paul, MN 55104
(651) 646-1396
(This place has electronic scoring machines that even tell you how fast the ball is going. I’m proud to say that my four-year-old finally broke the 3 mph barrier in the 8th frame!)

How much: $5 per game--and, Midway is giving Kidspark free shoe rental!
So how is this a fundraiser, you ask?  Well, Midway normally charges $3 per game; KidsPark will get the extra $2 per game. Since it is a fund raiser, if you feel further inclined to help, feel free to pay for a few "extra" rounds of bowling- KidsPark would be forever grateful.


We’ll be sending out an evite as we did before. You can RSVP right on the evite or to troy@kidsparkdropin.org.

We've moved!

KidsPark has finished moving from the Groveland Warming House and is now 100% in Desnoyer Park! We're just finishing getting everything set up, so bear with us as we close for Monday and Tuesday, January 26-27. We open at Desnoyer on the 28th. Can't wait to see you there!

Infant Room Closed until further notice

posted Jan 11, 2009 7:22 PM by Unknown user

KidsPark is sorry to report that our Infant Room Teacher, Sonia Hupalo,has left KidsPark as of the end of 2008.  Sonia had worked at KidsPark in both the Infant and Mixed Aged rooms, and we are sorry to see her go.  KPAC and the Macalester-Groveland Community Council wish her well and are grateful for the care she provided.

Because of the upcoming move to Desnoyer Park, we have decided to keep the Infant Room closed until after the transition to the new space is complete;
we apologize for any inconvenience this might cause our membership.  It is our hope to have the Infant Room, with new staff, up and running at Desnoyer as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact me or any of the members of KPAC with questions or concerns about this change.
