The Backyard Playroom is a collaboration between the Cana Lutheran Church and the MOMs Club of Berkley. Their vision is to provide a high-quality indoor space for families became a reality almost two years ago thanks to crowdfunding and volunteers. The program that provides free admission to all, thrives on volunteers to be Playroom Hosts.
What I loved about the space is that even though it is a partnership between the MOMS club and the Church, there was no pressure to join (or even mention) of either. The two groups genuinely want to be a free resource for families in the community.
They also offer Birthday Parties for just $50. The Backyard playroom hosts birthday parties on Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm.
According to their website, they plan to add PNO events in the future.
