We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym

We Rock the Spectrum was created with a specific mission: providing a place for children of all abilities to grow through play together. While all kids can enjoy the gym, We Rock the Spectrum’s inclusive philosophy is behind uniquely designed sensory equipment to aid children with sensory processing disorders. The beauty of this play gym is that children who aren’t on the spectrum can play with children who are, as We Rock the Spectrum believes that children of all abilities can learn so much from each other while playing.

Join in on the fun at We Rock the Spectrum Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. They’re located at 3111 New Jersey Route 38, Suite 14 in Mount Laurel.

Peekaboo Playground

Peekaboo Playground is a safe, clean, and fun-filled indoor facility where infants, toddlers, and young children can enjoy immersive, hands-on fun and learning. They have crawling tunnels, climbing structures, swings, and slides. All play equipment is crafted to be soft and kid-friendly yet still challenging for your little ones. While your children play, you can relax and enjoy a coffee or get some work done.

Peekaboo Playground was created by a certified speech-language pathologist with experience in early childhood intervention. Learning through play is a central part of all the activities at Peekaboo Playground. Play is so essential to early childhood development. Children gain social and cognitive skills, develop emotionally, and discover the self-confidence that’s sure to be helpful to them when they participate in new experiences and explore unfamiliar, novel environments. Peekaboo Playground harnesses the power of play to help you raise bright, curious, adventurous kids.

Check out Peekaboo Playground Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. They’re located at 175 Route 70 in Medford.
