Schools and Daycares
In-Home or Small Daycares:
It’s like a field trip—but we bring the fun to you!
This spring, summer, and early fall, book a binSpire Messy Play event to give the kids in your care an unforgettable, hands-on experience that’s fun, educational, and developmentally enriching.
Our 90-minute program (or until the kids are all played out) includes six kid-approved messy play activities set up right in your yard. Kids should come dressed in swimwear or play clothes that can handle a mess and bring a change of clothes for afterward.
All you need to provide is a safe, grassy area (preferred) and access to a hose hookup—we’ll take care of everything else!
Your staff will supervise the kiddos while our binSpire team keeps the stations refreshed, facilitates the activities, and—best of all—handles the cleanup. While a little residue may linger, we’ll do our best to leave your space as mess-free as possible!
"Small" daycares include daycares with 16 or fewer children that can all play together at the same time in one session.
(Travel fee may apply to locations more than 40 minutes from Anamosa, IA.)
Price: $185 for a one-time session
$175 for 3-5 sessions booked at once
$165 for 6+ sessions booked at once
