Welcome to the Kids' FUN Stop Blog! My first month as the owner of KFS has been great, and I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come in out of the hot summer weather to let their kids loose to play in our play space!

Many of you have requested classes, memberships, extended hours, etc. I'm very open to suggestions....my play space is here for you and your children! Let me know what you're looking for, preferable times, etc. Maybe we can get some of this rolling.

In the meantime, check out our "Events" page. We have several playgroups scheduled on a weekly basis as well as Music with Ed Morgan, "The Music Man" starting in September. I'd really like to get some meet-and-great playmates for incoming K1 students at area schools!

Feedback please!

The events are gearing up. Music starts Wed 9/8 and we also have a multiples group that is forming. Last count, I believe we have about 15 sets of twins and I've met a couple of mothers in the last few days who are expecting twins in December! A couple of mom's have asked about getting a group of mother's who are expecting between Thanksgiving and the end of December, that will be listed on the web site within the next week. The groups have been a bit slow to start over the summer, but now with the fall upon us, they should be catching on! Come play soon! Kay

Hi Kay, I came to Kids Fun Stop for the first time on Friday, October 1. My daughter (Kyla-Journey) and I came at 1:40 pm and we stayed until closing. She loves it! When we first got there she could not figure out which thing to play with. Her ultimate favorite thing ended up being the playhouse. That is where she spent most her time. Kyla made a lot of new frieds. The space is safe, clean, open, and the price is just right. Thank you. Laneice Womack

Price should be reduced for infants.

Thanks for your feedback. We don't charge for children under 1 - infants - unless they are utilizing our playspace (ie at least crawling). If you come in with just one child & that child isn't crawling yet, we just charge $5 and give you a free pass for a future visit once the child is mobile. Since we have such a nice/large area devoted to the infants we charge the same rate for all children who come to play, regardless of age. We are certianly open to suggestions though, and appreciate comments! Thanks for play at Kids FUN Stop!

I would like to know if the place is not open to kids 8 and up.

	Kay on Thursday, January 27, 2011 11:30 AM Our playspace is definately geared towards children 6 and under so there isn't much for older children to do. That being said, of course we "allow" older siblings but generally older children bring a book or hang out with their sibling like a "mother's helper". We don't charge for the older children since we aren't anticpiating for them to play - we treat them more like adults! Hope that hleps.

I visited KFS for the first time last month. Let's just say my son and my niece didn't want to leave. I love the ample play space and the multiples of the same kinds toys. If you could get some more Thomas engines, that would be great. My son and two other boys got in an awful spat over the only one in sight!

	Kay on Monday, March 28, 2011 3:28 PM So glad the kids had fun. Hope you'll come play again soon! I'll see what I can do about the Thomas engine. I've been on the lookout for another one but have yet to find one like the one I have.

I AM VERY UPSET AT KAYS FUN STOP, MY INLAWS WATCHED MY 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER, AND PICK KAYS TO LET HER HAVE FUN. THEY GOT IN AND SHOES OFF, WHEN A EMPLOYEE SAID THERE WAS A PARTY GOING ON. MY DAUGHTER STARTED TO CRY, AND THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD HAVING THE PARTY SAW HOW UPSET SHE WAS AND SAID SHE WAS WELCOME TO STAY. WOW HOW NICE WE THOUGHT UNTILL THE EMPLOYEE SAID WELL THE PARTY IS ALMOST OVER AND SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE THEN. I AM APAULED THAT A CHILDS PLAY GYM A EMPLOYEE WOULD SAY THAT. I WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT EVER GOING BACK THERE.

	Kay Benson on Monday, April 25, 2011 12:36 PM Jen - I'm so sorry that your child was upset because we were closed for a private birthday party. Unlike many play spaces, we are closed to the public during parties and unfortunately it is common that people come in thinking/hoping that we are open b/c they see the cars in the lot. It is unfortunate that neither the closed sign on the door or the "closed for private party" banner below it were noticed. I encourage our employees to offer the child a stamp & sticker to help ease the tears when the signs go un-noticed & they come in anyway, but unfortunately it is not always easy to help the child feel better. Often times the parents who have booked the party say it's ok to let a child come in -- but we offer private parties and since that is what the parents & guests have booked & expect, we have to enforce that. We will continue to keep our hours & policy consistent so parents know when we are open & when we are not. Typically we are open 7 days a week and the only times we are closed are Sat/Sun afternoons after 1pm. We hope you'll bring your daughter back to enjoy our play space during our regular play hours. Thank you!

my daughter paige just loves kids fun stop. her first time there she had a blast so i brought her back a couple of days later and she is still talking about the great time she had. I love the place because it is a safe environment for her to play although it is very tough getting her to leave. we both love the classic merry go round. i think this is the best!!!!!

I'm a big fan of Kids' FUN Stop Blog and always found this blog post pretty effective for my children as well. My kids were always enjoyed playing in your play space and this time they are willing to play again. Please let me know this about the next week playgroups schedule. Thanks
