Picture this, a perfect afternoon in an immaculate, clean, Montessori-style play space and cafe with your little ones busy exploring The Village. The sound of uplifting music plays in the background and the smell of freshly brewed La Colombe coffee and baked goods fills the air. Your cappuccino is served to you while you lounge on the couch and your little ones explore the play space.
