Birthday Party Details
Most parties run for about 2 hours. During the first 30 minutes of your party children have a chance to play in "the Village." This open-ended play time allows your visitors a chance to arrive. The next hour is for exhibits, presentations, hands on activities and puppet shows. Children will be divided, based on age, into small groups (If it is a small party they all stay together) and they will be escorted by staff members to each exhibit and presentation. Parents will work with JECM staff to select the exhibits and is presentations that will be best for your child's age and interests. When the presentations and exhibit visits are finished, children then return to party rooms for the final 30 minutes to sing happy birthday and eat and enjoy the rest of party.
