children's Piazza

 

Hey folks! This is the new Children’s Place that opened in Beverly! Looks like they have lots of great stuff!

Stop by and check it out, and when you do, stop over at Wicked Awesome Bakery who have been open for a short time but already doing a lot to help foster families!

 

 

 

THE PIAZZA

The Children’s Piazza is a unique indoor playground, café and family enrichment center for children from infancy through age 6 who are accompanied by their parents or caregivers.

“Piazza” is an Italian word meaning “town square” – a central place to meet up, relax, play, and be casually entertained. Although activities vary throughout the day, people-watching is constant.  Designed with this Italian concept in mind, The Children’s Piazza is a place where parents can connect with other parents and enjoy watching their children at play.

Our team consists of a few fabulously creative friends who are also new parents, and a few equally fabulous undergraduate students studying business and early childhood education.  We are all about creating and maintaining a safe, clean, fun AND aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for both you and your little ones to enjoy.

We hope you will visit us soon!  Ciao!
