Richmond Family Place is a membership based organization. We ask all families to become members (talk to our staff when you first visit). Membership fees help us to pay for our building costs and keep our playrooms stocked with great quality resources. Membership costs $25 a year per family (or Pay-What-You-Can). We don’t want membership costs to be a barrier for anyone, so talk to staff if you need a little help!

Our playrooms are open! We will continue to prepare our outdoor spaces for play & exploration while offering an option for indoor play.

Our playrooms will look a little different than before the pandemic. Adhering to our Health & Safety protocols has caused us to adapt and change our environment. A portion of every program will include outdoor activities and so it is still really important to make sure that all family members are dressed for outdoor play.
Here is what you need to know before joining us:

• Families will enter the programs through the side gate before entering the playrooms. You will find a doorbell located outside the fence. Ring the bell and a staff will come and assist you with sign in & hand sanitizing.
• There will be a 40-person maximum capacity in the playrooms (children & adults combined). When the program is full a **STOP** sign will be posted outside the garden gate and in front of the main doors to let families know the program is full.
• There will be no food allowed in the play spaces (indoors & out) at any time. Families are responsible to provide their own tea, coffee & water bottles in covered cups/bottles.
• There will be no access to the kitchen & living room.
• Please dress for the weather. All programs will include outdoor time.
