Trinity Stay-N-Play

Trinity Stay-N-Play is an indoor playtime designed for preschool children (ages 0-5) and their parents to connect in a fun, creative environment while the kids play. Each week builds on a theme and includes interactive activities, a craft related to the theme, snacks, and a circle time with songs and stories.

Stay-N-Play meets from September through May on the first and third Thursdays of each month from 9:30am to 11:30am at Trinity Church. Circle time is at 11:00 a.m.

We have seven distinct, large areas for play:

• The Nursery: Geared for the littlest ones, our nursery features toys and activities designed for newborns through toddlers, including infant swings, infant activity mats, jumpers, walkers, a small ball pit, and toys that are developmentally appropriate. This room also features two diaper changing stations, as well as a nursing mothers' room for your convenience.
• The Lighthouse Room: Color a picture related to the week's theme, bounce in the bouncy house, or play games like soccer, bowling, or tee-ball.
• The Gross-Motor Room: Climb, slide, spin, balance, aim, and throw. This room is a favorite for children who like small play structures and bouncy balls.
• The Craft Room: Make a fun craft related to the week's theme, or get creative at the Play-Doh station.
• The Builders and Movers Room: Play with trucks, trains, dinosaurs, and build with blocks of all shapes and sizes.
• The Pretend Room: Use your imagination! This room features lots of dress-up clothes and other items for imaginative play, such as a play kitchen and food, shopping carts, and dolls with strollers.
• The Reading Room: Stimulate thought with lots of wonderful books, puzzles, and a puppet center.
