Children’s Jam & Play

BEWARE! I had my nanny take my children here and what seemed to be a great, clean place for them ended up being a sick experience. I was over the moon when the owner, James Ellis, picked up the phone and called me to discuss his knowledge of a chronic illness my son has. I felt very comfortable with my children and her being there. I even brought my daughter back for a ballet class.
I find out later that on their first visit the owner, James Ellis, sat down beside my nanny and was talking with her about my children as they played. He then proceeded to ask her how long her hair is and pulled her ponytail holder out of her hair (she has long blonde hair and is 23!) and ran his fingers through it. She received a phone call and walked away only to find him beside her and he ran his hand through her hair again. Days later he then began texting her asking her to come running with him and tried calling her. This is when she told me what happened and realized what she thought was wrong, but decided not to mention and make things even more uncomfortable, was escalating.
She ignored his text and calls, but in an effort to stop the situation she answered while her boyfriend was on 3 way. Her point was that she wanted him to admit that touching her hair, texting and call her was indeed very inappropriate. He stated touching her hair wasn’t meant to make her feel uncomfortable but did admit to doing it. Her boyfriend piped up and very calmly asked him to stop contacting her, however it did not stop. Her mother had to make a phone call to him before the texts stopped.
NOT ONCE after my children’s initial visit did he ever contact me to see how my children were doing (which was his first excuse in reaching out to her). Apparently his main concern was my nanny!

My kids loved this place. We stopped going because there was a large metal seesaw added to the mix. It spins and has metal wheels on the bottom – had to save 3 babies from getting smashed. I’d go back if that were gone, and if they were ever open on time.

Very nice and clean atmosphere for little ones. My four year old granddaughter is having a great time here. Will definitely bring here back. Glad this is so close to home.

This place is good if you live in the area. I wouldn’t drive more than 10 – 15 minutes for it. My toddler had fun here but it’s a little off. I’m not sure what I didn’t like about the place since it was clean for the most part and my toddler enjoyed herself. It’s like going over to someone’s house who has a huge living room full of cool toys. I would definitely check the website and call ahead before going since they get booked for private parties and close at random times.

I came here in the afternoon and there was no kids here for my boys to play with, but they absolutely loved the toys and had a blast! So I came back today (Friday) and it says on Unilocal their hours are from 9 – 6 today, but there is a closed sign on the door and no one is here? I’m really disappointed about this and the fact that the worker here when I came last was saying the owner is really messy and disorganized which is also a red flag that we might find a different place to come play!

Great place for kids 4 and under to play. Bounce house, climbing structures, play houses, ball pits, and other activities for the kids to play with! There is a separate area of tables where you can eat your own snack or lunch. Water and capri suns and pretzels, fruit snacks, and granola bars for purchase. The only down side is that it’s a little pricey. $ 7 for under 3 and $ 10 for bigger kids. If you buy the membership it’s $ 30/​kid and $ 10 for additional kids. Great to have a local play place.
