We believe in the benefits of play.

We believe that sometimes a kid just needs to be a kid. We believe that kids need space to try things and make mistakes and try again.

Our Story

After visiting premier children’s venues around the country, we designed Keystone Kidspace with our community in mind, as a hybrid of best practices and programs. We blend freedom to play, a focus on STEAM, and a hands-on approach to learning to help kids discover their passion(s) and find their people. At Keystone Kidspace, we provide the space, support and tools; kids bring their imaginations. Keystone Kidspace gives kids an awesome place to stretch their curiosity, take some risks, and try new things.

We have a dynamic team with diverse talents and unique experiences. All of us are committed to making Keystone Kidspace a creative space where all kids can connect with their sense of wonder. We believe in York and want our community to be more livable, vibrant and inclusive.
