As a parent, would you be interested in a place like this?
I am interested in starting up a parent/child activity and workshop center. It would be a bright fun place with lots of toys and activity centers for kids to play on, comfy seats for adults, and a shop filled with only high quality, owner tested and approved products such as slings, toys, cloth diapers and breastpumps. The center would hold several classes for children such as a kids cooking class, art classes, sibling readiness classes etc. Parent and child classes such as one for both for cooking, a special daddy and me series, parent and child yoga etc, and parent only classes and meeting such as budgeting, menu planning, and a few just-for-fun classes, and free meetings for things as (perhaps) La Leche League and diaper free baby, while the kids could play in the play center.
Would you like a center like this? How often would you want to go? What would you be willing to pay? What classes and activities would you want to see?
The reason I mentioned cloth diapers is because you can go to any grocery store and get disposable, but I was not able AT ALL to go to a store for cloth, I had to order online and HOPE I liked what I got. That reminds me, another potential class would be on cloth diapering...
I would try to have something for every interest, and yes things for infants and toddlers (parent and me yoga can start right after birth, for example) and it would be geared to all parents having some classes early in the day, some later in the evening and of course some weekend activities. When starting at least I would probably have questionnaires to fill out including desired classes and best times to attend them. The items in the store would all be new, but I would hold perhaps a bi-annual item swap, kind of like a garage sale for parents where you trade instead of sell, proceeds and any extra stuff would be donated to whatever cause seems best at the time (the crises pregnancy center, womans shelter, etc).
