CDI is a hidden gem of the Valley. It is a free educational space for children and toddlers to learn, explore, interact, read and play.
This is their second location that officially opened on 10/12/21.
The location of this magical play space is in an old church. The wood from the church pews have been repurposed into benches and decor inside the center. It also has a large gated parking lot with plenty of parking spaces. This educational play space feels like a small town inside.
CDI offers six different themed play areas: Tree house slide, Friendly Farmers Market, Dr Giraffe's Health Clinic, Reading Circle, Transportation Station, and Busy Bee's area for smaller children and toddlers that also includes a nursing bathroom. All these fun play areas include themed toys.
In the middle of the center are two tables for children to do interactive activities such as color, draw, paint, and play.
This is a very clean play space. All the equipment and toys seem to be brand new and are cleaned throughout the day.
CDI has a friendly staff and occasional school volunteers to help interact and play with the children. They also offer a interactive reading circle with a fun dance party at the end. This is our daughter's favorite part!
Cubby holes are located by the entrance to put your coats, back packs, diaper bags, etc.
Bathrooms are located on the far end of the facility. They have water fountains and a great refillable automatic water bottle station for reusable water bottles.
I highly recommend CDI! Not only is this a free and safe educational play space for children and toddlers; they also offer great community outreach like food, donations, toys, books and specialized educational services for families. Check out the website for information regarding those services.
Free sign up online and there is currently a 2 hour play time limit per session. This location is only currently open on Tuesdays and Thursdays but may change in the future. read more
