I don't know if anyone if familiar with PlayDATE with Gail but she has a great program. Looks like she is selling her business to Kidspot and it's going to be incorporated there. Here is a copy of the email I got today.

PlayDATE December 2007





There’s so much news to share please excuse this extra long email!!!



· New home for PlayDATE

· Special introductory vouchers

· Holiday schedule

· Two new classes for “big kids” and Dads

· About Kidspot



PlayDATE has a new home

I’m excited and happy to announce that I’ve found a new home for PlayDATE!!! Thursday, December 13th will be the last day on Summerfield Road in Santa Rosa. PlayDATE will move and reopen Monday December 17th in Sebastopol at Kidspot…only 15 minutes west of highway 101 !!!!



Michelle Potter of Kidspot has bought PlayDATE and I will work with her to keep it going just the way you’ve come to expect. Michelle is primping and painting getting ready for the move. She’s excited, I’m excited; it will be a great move.



During the last two weeks in Santa Rosa I encourage everyone to come by to play and say hello before we move. I hope everyone will come to Sebastopol to see me too.



Special introductory vouchers

I got so much feedback from PlayDATE moms asking to keep vouchers that I will be selling special introductory Kidspot/PlayDATE punch cards. If you have “old” PlayDATE vouchers they will be *honored at Kidspot but this is such a great deal you might want to buy some of the “introductory” cards to use over the winter months. The cost will be $60 for 5 classes (all ages). The voucher will be for entry to Kidspot and a PlayDATE class. This is a punch card which you can keep or leave at Kidspot . I will have the punch cards available at PlayDATE Summerfield for the next two weeks…..maybe a good holiday gift!

*the old vouchers will be good for PlayDATE classes only. If you’d like to stay and play at Kidspot it will be an additional $4 for each child ( any age), all day pass

Fun with Dad at PlayDATE!!!!

This special class is just for Dads and their little ones



Big Kids & Dads

Michelle wanted something special for the big kids during their winter break and a Saturday morning Dads’ class so we’ve got ‘em!!!! Call ahead to be put on the class list. These classes may fill early.



Fun & Games for 4,5&6’s will be an active class full of fun. We’ll run, jump, play some games, sing some songs, maybe a little bit of yoga and some tumbling too. Come dressed in comfortable clothes and ready to play. This class is for kids only, no parent participation is necessary.

Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 11:30-12:30 during winter break.



Fun with DAD!!!! Sure dads come to PlayDATE all the time. Some dads have a standing midweek date with their little ones but this class is especially for dads and their 1-4 year olds. We’re starting with one Saturday and if there’s interest it may be an ongoing class. So dads start the new year out with a fun PlayDATE, mark your calendars for Saturday, January 5th 10:30-11:15



Please note that Michelle is open to offering classes you want so if you have an idea or request, let her know!





About Kidspot http://www.kidspotimaginationcenter.com/



For those of you who haven’t been to Kidspot it is only 15minutes from highway 101 on highway 12….6826 Sebastopol Avenue, Sebastopol. It’s very easy to find, just head west on highway 12 towards Sebastopol and it will be on your right(north) before you get into town.



If you haven’t been to Kidspot since last spring when Michelle Potter took over you’ll find a lot of wonderful changes and additions. As a matter of fact every time I’ve been there in the last few weeks I’ve seen changes and improvements. Walls are coming down and walls are going up, the new PlayDATE space is getting a fresh coat of paint, I’ve noticed Michelle has recovered some of the chairs and the store has new merchandise almost everyday.



Those of you who have never been to Kidspot let me try to describe it. Kidspot is housed in a huge warehouse. The front of the building where you enter has a really nice gift shop with high quality imaginative toys, clothing, books, puzzles, cute rain boots and adorable shoes. Set in the corner are a couple dining sized tables covered with bright oil cloth and a fun mix/match of chairs and high chairs for you to use to have a snack and cup of coffee or tea. The “café” includes a coffee cart so you can buy your special coffee drink. Once you enter the play space there’s a log cabin set up with table and chair for the children to play in, beautiful hardwood building blocks, wooden scooters and wagons, lots of make believe and dress up. There is painting in the back room, a shadow wall and touch tank with real star fish. In the corner of this huge space is the new PlayDATE playgym.



When you come to PlayDATE your payment will include entry to the Kidspot play space. So you can come early or stay after PlayDATE to extend your day of fun.



You are welcome to come out to Kidspot and not come into the PlayDATE gym. The cost for entry is $4 for children 6months to 2years and $8 for children over 2.



Feel free to call Kidspot at 823-5453 with any questions. They are open 9am-5pm Monday through Saturday



Thank you so much for all your support during this move. I hope to see you in the weeks to come in Santa Rosa and then in Sebastopol.

Sincerely,

Gail













You will always be your child's favorite toy

Gail was there talking to Michelle the owner of Kidspot when I went in last week to pay the remainder for Madelynns birthday party...I kind of had a feeling they were planning something like this...
Pretty cool :)
