Casey Caldiero states the present location at 651 Oakwood Avenue has become too small and has reached
capacity for the growing business. Also, a shared parking lot with a restaurant makes parking a challenge.
The new location will be renovated and converted to the new Village Play location. The new location will allow
for the business to expand in a more accessible facility to better serve local families. It will not be a daycare
facility. It is a children’s play and enrichment center for infants through elementary school and their caregivers.
A coffee bar will be offered with pastries and other food options. The business will also host birthday parties,
baby showers, and other community gatherings. There is more than ample parking spaces.
