What is Swap n Play?
Swap n Play is an inviting place for children and their families to come play and experience community together. It is a year-round place for those member families to exchange useful goods (clothing, toys, books, art supplies, baby equipment, and more), a place for parents to both network and support each other and a place to share household items. Member families are allowed to have guests join them at Swap n Play.
How does Swap n Play work?
Members bring in items that can be used in the play space or taken home by other families. Children play in the play space supervised by their own family while adults sort through items such as clothes and books that they would like to exchange. Each co-op family takes on responsibility for a certain area or task of the co-op creating a safe, clean, creative, community space. Co-op fees are used to cover the costs of rent, insurance, supplies, provide a small income for a director and also to hire local artists and entertainers to perform in the space.
