Mums looking to introduce their young ’uns to the world of indoor playgrounds without bigger kids running amok, check out Blue House. Catering to children from six months to three years old, this two-outlet playschool is appointed with open-ended furniture – most of which is endorsed by Reggio Emilia, the Northern Italian early childhood approach that inspired Blue House – and materials to encourage problem solving and theoretical reasoning. (Even we had to google the latter.)
Flexibility is the name of the game at Blue House. Enrol your kid in a regular playgroup or class on a weekly basis (from $225/six classes) or pop by during its drop-in time slots ($25/2 hours) for a more casual session. Playgroups are split according to age: six to 12 months and 12 to 36 months. And if you’ve more active tots, check into Blue House’s Turf City outlet – it has an outdoor interactive playgroup.
