Yep. Spring Break 2020 is just three weeks away! In an effort to make your life easier, I have compiled a list of camps offering sessions the week of March 16-20. While the list is not exhaustive, it provides quite a variety of options. I have focused in particular on including camps located in different areas in or near Austin, with a variety of price points. I have included both full-day camps as well as half-day camps and workshops. In addition, I have paid special attention to including camp options for little ones as well. Options for drop-in care and co-working with childcare are also included.
If you ever need help exploring the best camps for your kids, give Enriched Family a call. Enriched Family offers custom camp research, schedule planning, and can even register your kiddos for camp! I’m happy to help you figure out Spring Break, Summer Break, or the whole year of school break camps for your children! Let me be your other set of hands.

Poppy: Child Development, Co-Working, and Celebration Services
Details: Poppy is a community to work, recharge, and mingle with other parents sharing the same struggles and celebrations. Poppy has an “open play space” where your child can play with your supervision while you work. Poppy also has a separate and secure supervised child development area designed to engage a sensory rich atmosphere. This section allows for appropriate space based on age range, whether that be individual or group settings. This space has engaging activities and approaches for your child to learn. Your child's time spent at Poppy will be enriched with a multi-sensory approach to a curriculum-based education. Parents at Poppy can have four hours (up to twelve hours weekly) of uninterrupted time to focus on personal and/or professional growth. The co-working space includes a meeting office, phone booths, and a small cafe/kitchen with free coffee, local snacks, and healthy alternatives. The unique design allows for this area to also function as a celebration space for birthday parties, baby showers, parents night out, and other big moments. Various membership packages available, click here for details.
