What to Expect

Pre-Registration Paperwork

Before your first visit, we ask that all families complete our short online pre-registration form. This simple paperwork helps our caregivers get to know your child a little better and ensures a smooth, calm arrival.

It includes a basic registration, contact information and a few thoughtful questions about your child’s personality, preferences, and any special considerations
 

This allows our team to welcome your child with greater awareness and intention from the very beginning. It also keeps your arrival experience unhurried and focused on connection rather than logistics.

We believe preparation is part of intentional care. Completing your pre-registration ahead of time helps us create a more personalized experience for every family. Visiting The Work & Wonder Café is designed to be calm, welcoming and supportive to parents and children. Here’s what your experience will look like from arrival to reconnection at the end of your session. 

When You Arrive
We recommend arriving a few minutes early to allow time to settle in. You’ll be greeted by a member of our team and guided through a transition into the space. Parents check in and then help their children move comfortably into the play studio.

There is no rushing here. Take time to offer a reassuring goodbye and let your child know you are nearby. This moment of connection sets the tone for a peaceful and confident session.

The Play Studio Experience
Children spend their session in a play studio centered on open-ended, developmentally appropriate play. The space is calm, inviting, and intentionally not overstimulating.

Our team is present to guide, support, and maintain a safe environment while allowing children the freedom to explore, imagine, and create at their own pace. Some children jump right in, while others take time to warm up. Both are completely welcome and honored.

While Your Child Plays
Parents are invited into the café space, a calm, professional, and creative environment designed for focus and presence. During your 90-minute session, you’re free to work remotely, study, read, journal, meet a friend, or simply enjoy a quiet moment to breathe.

We believe meaningful work takes many forms, and all of it is honored here.

The Rhythm of Our Sessions
Each session lasts 90 minutes, an intentional length that supports focus for parents and joyful engagement for children. 

After every session, we include a 15-minute reset and transition period.

This time allows for: Clean-up and preparation of the space, Unhurried reunions between parents and children
A smooth transition into the next part of your day
These moments of pause are just as important as the work and play themselves.

If Your Child Needs You
It’s completely normal for children to need reassurance, especially during early visits. Our team is highly skilled in supporting children through new transitions. If your child needs you, we will communicate with you right away. Parents remain close and accessible throughout each session. This is shared care, not separation.

Leaving the Session
At the end of the session, parents and children reconnect during the transition period. There is no pressure to rush, and we simply ask that families honor the reset time so the next session can begin smoothly and calmly.

A Gentle Reminder
Every family’s rhythm is different. Whether this is your first visit or part of your weekly routine, The Work & Wonder Café is here to support you in creating a sense of harmony for your family.
