"When I walked into Kidville with my daughter for the first time, I knew I had to find a way to bring such a fun and interactive place to Boston where families will grow together and make great connections," says Cathy Tai , partner and franchise owner of Kidville Wellesley and former music teacher at Dana Hall in Wellesley. "It's a one-stop solution for families with young children looking for a new way to play, learn and enjoy time together."
Kidville Wellesley will host a special grand opening celebration weekend featuring spring-themed arts and crafts activities, refreshments and Kidville's signature music program, Rockin' Railroad.

To kick off these Grand Opening celebrations, Kidville Wellesley is having an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday and is supporting local nonprofit Room to Grow, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of babies born into poverty throughout their critical first three years of development. Room to Grow's innovative program provides one-on-one parenting support and essential infant and toddler items, including clothing, books, educational toys and baby gear, to ensure a healthy and secure start for their children. Families visiting Kidville Wellesley during Grand Opening weekend are encouraged to donate new or lightly used children's clothing, sizes newborn to 5T, and they will receive a special 10% discount toward a purchase at the boutique that day.

Kidville University, Kidville's Pre-School Alternative Program (KVU), guides toddlers through social skills within a playful setting as they transition to school. The class offers a curriculum that stimulates natural curiosity while exploring new ideas, with a range of activities including circle songs and music, art, science, gym and more. A small teacher-child ratio ensures individualized attention for each child as he or she makes the first transitions to separation and builds trusting relationships with his or her teachers.
Camp Kidville joins campers and counselors as they experience specialist-lead activities in the Kidville classrooms, including gym, arts and crafts, music, and hands-on exploration for children 18-24 months through 5 years old. Choose from 2, 8, 12, and 16-week sessions or one-week specialty camps such as Fairy Princess Camp™ and Superhero Training Camp™.

The Kidville concept started when Shari Misher Stenzler , co-founder of London Misher Public Relations, found herself carrying her baby and stroller down a long flight of stairs for her child's first music class. "There must be a better way," she thought and began informally polling friends and fellow parents about their needs.
Fun and familiar geometric shapes are the design foundation for the Kidville interior space. Used with vibrant colors, the design elements encourage exploration and intuitively guide children throughout the space. This playful and cross-functional design provides the perfect setting for everything from intimate classes to "Big Blow Out" birthday parties.
Kidville operates locations across the globe including New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, Mumbai, and Hong Kong. Visit Kidville on the web at kidville.com.
