With something for everyone – art, movement, music and language for kids, plus spa treatments, yoga and fitness for adults – Orange Blossom Society is a place where kids can blossom while their parents recharge and reconnect.

"My ambition is to create an intimate space that is welcoming to families and good for community building," Sepsaid Sharman Ghio, founder of Orange Blossom Society. "I selected enrichment activities that children will love; classes that will pique their interest and encourage discovery. And, parents will feel less guilty about doing a little something for themselves at the same time, knowing their kids are under the same roof having a fun time."

Orange Blossom Society has three floors of rooms where instructors will be able to give ample individual attention in small classes of eight to 10 students. The rotating gear in the indoor play space will delight with educational and classic, wooden toys. There is a café on site, serving healthy snacks, coffee and pastries (and eventually salads and sandwiches), as well as a retail boutique with fun accessories and handmade items. Outside, the facility has a yard, which Ghio plans to use for gardening and composting lessons, parking, a picnic area and sports court for athletic fun.

Orange Blossom Society will be open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Classes will be held in eight-week sessions and the fall session begins Sept. 22. visit http://www.orangeblossomsociety.com/ or call 425-883-2400.
