The Awesome Playground

Thank you for all the kind words that we have received over the last few days. I was overwhelmed to hear how much you and your family enjoyed Awesome Playground. My husband, son, nephew and dear friends worked so hard over the last week to return the space to its original state. I blessed that I had the opportunity to run Awesome Playground for the past almost 10 years. I’m still a local resident and I’m looking forward to running into you all around town when this is all done. Take care and stay safe and healthy everyone. @ The Awesome Playground

We were busy doing social distancing painting of the exterior of the building this weekend. Painting over the beautiful mural work by @r.kardonaart was a difficult chore but now it is done. @ The Awesome Playground

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to close Awesome Playground. After watching the COVID-19 pandemic situation unfold, we know that we will be unable to reopen for a couple of months at best and our family is unable to survive the financial burden. It was a really difficult decision for my family to make and it was even harder to let go the awesome staff. I will miss you all!

Dear Awesome Families - The Awesome Playground and Awesome Academy will be closed to the public for 2 weeks (March 16 - March 27) for the safety of our customers and staff. This is an unprecedented time with lots of uncertainty. Please take care, keep your little ones entertained and we look forward to seeing you all when it is safe to do so. If you are need of childcare during these next 2 weeks, please consider hiring one of our preschool teachers or staff. We would love to solve your childcare needs. DM to arrange your childcare. #safetyfirst #awesomeplayground #awesomeacademy #highlandpark

YES YOU CAN! It is an effort for sure to raise bilingual kids but the benefits for them are amazing! I was raised monolingual myself. I learned to speak conversational Spanish and Japanese as an adult. My accent isn’t great but I can communicate and connect with others that I wouldn’t be able to do without the gift of speaking another language. ... My husband and I enrolled our son in a Japanese preschool, dual immersion elementary school and Saturday school so that Japanese became a part of his daily life. We also hosted a teacher from Japan for several years. Nothing like a native speaker in the house to boost language skills. My son is in middle school now and is bilingual and the language journey continues. If you choose to raise a bilingual child, give it your all! Be patient as language skills take years to develop.

Come in and play! Awesome Playground will be open today 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. #awesomeplayground #theawesomeplayground
