We’re thrilled to announce a new weekly offering at Little Village Play Cafe: Wellness Wednesdays! Every Wednesday morning from 8 AM to 10 AM, we are excited to welcome Janell to our cafe. Janell brings years of experience and a passion for giving back to the community through the healing power of massage.
Janell’s Services:
Caregivers can enjoy relaxing table massages ($1/min), while kids have a blast with hair tinsel ($5), temporary tattoos ($3), and nail stickers ($1). Janell is also generously offering free massages to foster parents during this time, making it a special morning for those who do so much for others.
Janell says, “After years of working with people from all walks of life and running my own business, I’ve decided to step back and focus on giving back. Wellness Wednesdays are my way of sharing the healing benefits of massage with the community, especially caregivers during this vulnerable chapter of parenting young children. I’m especially passionate about supporting foster parents, who give so much of themselves. I’m thrilled to partner with Little Village to join in their mission to 'be the village' and support the wonderful community around us.”
But that’s not all! Wellness Wednesdays overlap with our Daily Enrichment Class, ‘Let’s Use Our Senses,’ from 9 AM to 10 AM. Taught by our amazing Education Director, Miss Kristin, this class is perfect for little ones to engage in fun sensory activities while caregivers enjoy some well-deserved self-care.
Village Mornings for Foster Families
On Wednesday mornings, from 8 AM to 10 AM, we also host Village Mornings for Foster Families. While the space is open to everyone, this is a time when foster families especially are invited to enjoy the cafe and its offerings at a 50% discount on playtime. This is a special time for foster families to connect, relax, and feel supported, but we welcome all families to join us during these hours.
Our mission at Little Village is to “be the village,” providing families with young children a space where they can come together, unwind, and feel supported. We are overjoyed to partner with women & mom business owners like Janell, and we are deeply committed to giving back to the families in our community.
Whether you’re stopping by for a massage, bringing your little ones to play, or taking part in our enrichment classes, we can’t wait to share Wellness Wednesdays with you!
You’re always welcome to drop in at Little Village, but during special times like Wellness Wednesdays, we encourage reservations to make sure we have space for everyone to enjoy the full experience! You can reserve your spot by clicking here.
Stay tuned for updates on special guest appearances from other wellness professionals joining Janell in the weeks to come!
