“The Tree House, a KFRC Indoor Playground”
What is the Tree House?
The Tree House is an indoor playground and exploration space for children ages 0 through 4. We are not a drop off center. In addition to general play areas, the Tree House has a designated infant space, a climbing wall, a lily pond, a tire swing and of course a Tree House! For more information check out the Tree House FAQS
For those who can afford it, admission options to the Tree House for all on site playgroups and open hours will be as follows:
One Year Family Membership: $200
Academic Year Family Membership: $150
Fall OR Winter Semester Family Membership: $80 Not available until September

Don’t think you would get enough use out of a monthly membership? Buy a punch card! 5 visits for $25!
*Special classes and events may incur an addition fee.
**This is a community playground and no one will be turned away. All are welcome! Scholarships and income-based memberships are available. The scholarship-application is available for download here. Contact KFRC director, Cathy Benda for more information.
Registration is required to use the Tree House. Parents will be given a Parent Handbook containing the policies and rules of The Tree House and playgroups and sign a waiver of agreement. To save time, you may download the registration form and handbook and bring it them your first Tree House outing.
Please note that the Tree House is a shoe free zone. We do not permit bare feet so please remember socks. For $1 families may purchase a pair of socks at the desk.
