Very interactive and engaging teachers that played with my son throughout the Open Play. The rooms had a ton of activities, great toys, slides, etc. that kept us entertained for hours. This is a great option to have on the weekends!

Over the past few months, my daughter has been attending the Boundless Beginnings program at Perry School, and the experience has been exceptional. The standout feature is the Think Tank component—developed by the school’s founder—which focuses on early reading, math, knowledge-building, and critical thinking skills. Through this program, my daughter has learned to recognize words, including her own name, and grasp early math concepts—all in a fun, age-appropriate way.
Improvements:
Everything is perfect! Deeply grateful to the dedicated teachers whose hard work and commitment make this enriching experience possible.

My daughter absolutely loves the Boundless Beginnings program at Perry School. I think it’s one of the best Toddler programs offered in the downtown area. Dawn Lesley Stewart, the Founder/Director leads the Boundless Beginnings program and my child has the opportunity to explore the entire space, including an Art area, the Think Tank room, a giant gym/play room, and the Sound Garden.The classes are 90 minutes long and Dawn puts so much creativity and thought into the lessons each time we visit.
