Know Before You Go

A few things to know before your first visit.

Little Grove is a boutique, caregiver-friendly space. These quick details will make your visit smooth.

Reservations

Little Grove uses the booking platform Sawyer for all memberships, punch passes, and drop-in visits. While a reservation is not required at this time, it is strongly recommended to ensure we have capacity for your family and for a quicker entry into our play space.

Reserve a spot →

Accounts & Waivers

Every family needs a free Sawyer account and a signed waiver on file, whether you reserve ahead or drop in. It's quick to set up online, so take care of it before you arrive.

Attire

Socks are required for all children and grown-ups entering the indoor section of the play space. Cubbies are provided to store your shoes.

Parking

Little Grove is located in downtown Erie at 512 Briggs St. While we have no formal parking lot, there is ample street parking on Briggs Street and Moffat Street. There is also a parking lot at the intersection of Kattell and Moffat Street.

Get directions →

Strollers

Due to our boutique-style space and to maximize occupant capacity, we unfortunately do not have space for strollers. For young siblings who might otherwise be in a stroller, we recommend a wrap or carrier.

Food & Drinks

Little Grove sells a selection of beverages and prepackaged, allergen-friendly snacks. Outside food is welcome, but it may only be eaten in designated areas, and we ask that you clean up thoroughly after yourselves.

Who it's for

Little Grove is designed for children from birth through age 7. The first two adults per family are always free, and each additional adult is $12.

Questions? Email hello@littlegroveerie.com

Our Philosophy

Give kids a place to lead. Give yourself permission to just watch.

Real things. Real mess. Real growth.

Mud kitchens, digging patches, water play, loose natural materials. The kind of play that looks unstructured but is actually where the deepest learning happens. We lean into the mess on purpose.

Your people are here too.

Comfortable seating, great coffee, and a room full of families in the same stage of life. Little Grove is as much for you as it is for your kids.

Something new every visit.

Rotating themed programming means no two months are the same. From Dino Digs to Winter Wonderland, there's always a reason to come back — and kids always have something to look forward to.

Rooted in Erie

Our coffee comes from a local Colorado roaster. Our programming features Erie educators. Every dollar spent here is designed to stay in our community.

The Space

Inside and out—one continuous playground.

1,740 sq ft indoors opens straight into 2,000 sq ft outdoors, so the day never stops when the weather flips. Think climbing and coffee on a snow day, mud kitchens and turf sprints when the sun is out—same visit, same ticket, same community.

Questions

Everything you're wondering.

We're targeting a Fall 2026 opening at 512 Briggs St in Erie, Colorado. Founding members will get exclusive sneak peeks and first access before we open to the public. Join the founding list to stay in the loop.

Little Grove is designed for children from birth through age 7. We have a dedicated baby space for infants and younger toddlers, a sensory section, Kids City for imaginative play, and a rock climbing wall and play structure for older kids. The first two adults per family always get in free (each additional adult is $12).

A reservation isn't required at this time, but it's strongly recommended — it helps us make sure we have room for your family and gets you into the play space faster. Either way, every family needs a free account with us and a signed waiver on file, which is quick to set up online before your first visit. Birthday parties require booking in advance. Members get priority registration for workshops and events.

Founding members join through Sawyer ahead of opening to lock in a lifetime discount on their monthly membership. Your spot in line determines your discount — the earlier you claim it, the more you save:

🌿 Tier 1 — First 50 families — 20% off for life
🌿 Tier 2 — Next 50 families — 15% off for life

You pay the full price of your first month when you join, and you can start booking unlimited play for your family. Because you're joining ahead of our November grand opening, you won't be billed again until December. You'll also get exclusive sneak peeks of the space as we build it.

We have three tiers based on family size — all include unlimited drop-in visits:

🌱 Seedling — 1 child (12 mo+) · $75/mo (founding members from $64/mo)
🌿 Sapling — 2 children · $110/mo (founding members from $94/mo)
🌳 Grove — 3+ children · $135/mo (founding members from $115/mo)

All memberships are month-to-month with no contracts. Cancel anytime.

We offer two party packages, each starting from the listed price with add-ons available:

🌱 Seedling — starting from $400 · 90 minutes · Semi-private party room · 10 children included · Up to 25 total attendees · 15 min setup + 15 min cleanup included

🌳 Full Grove Buyout — starting from $750 · 2 hours · Fully private — no other guests · 15 children included · Up to 45 total attendees · 15 min setup + 15 min cleanup included

You bring the cake, food, and decorations. Coffee is available for purchase at our snack bar. Book at LittleGroveErie.com/parties.

Drop-in is $25 for the first child, $17 for each sibling. Children under 1 year are free when visiting with a paying sibling age 12 months or older, or $12 for a solo infant visit — this doesn't apply to twins or multiples where both children are under 12 months, since each is priced as a solo infant visit in that case. The first two adults per family always get in free — each additional adult is $12. Punch passes for ages 1+ come in two sizes — 5 visits for $100 or 10 visits for $180. Each punch covers one child per visit, and 10-visit passes are valid for one year from purchase. We also offer a 10-visit infant pass for babies under 12 months at $100, also valid for one year.

The outdoor spaces are fully programmed and open from spring through fall. In colder Colorado months, we'll have modified outdoor access when weather allows. The full indoor space — including the play structure, climbing wall, sensory section, and Kids City — is always open regardless of weather.

Yes — we actively want to partner with Erie community organizations, playgroups, homeschool co-ops, and local businesses. Reach out at hello@littlegroveErie.com to tell us about your idea.

Community

Little Grove is Erie's third place.

Not a chain. Not a franchise. A neighborhood spot built with and for the families of Erie — and shaped by them every day it's open.

What We Stand For

Community is the whole point.

Erie doesn't need another play space. It needs a third place — somewhere between home and school where families connect, children build friendships, and caregivers find their people.

01

Radical Welcome

Little Grove is for every family in Erie. The first two adults per family always get in free. We'll never turn a family away for inability to pay during our community hours.

02

Play Is the Work

We trust that genuine, unstructured play is the most valuable thing a child can do. Our spaces are built to maximize it, not manage it.

03

Local First

Our coffee comes from a Colorado roaster. Our workshops feature Erie-based educators and local talent. Every dollar at Little Grove is designed to stay in our community.

04

Slow Down Together

No schedule to get through. No timer. Little Grove is one of the few places where lingering is the whole point — for kids and the adults with them.

Community Partnerships

Reach Erie's families where they gather.

Little Grove members are Erie parents with children ages 0–7 — a highly engaged, family-first demographic that makes purchasing decisions based on community trust and peer recommendations. A partnership puts your business where the recommendation happens.

Our Story

Meet the family behind Little Grove.

"Little Grove is for little minds — and for parents to have peace of mind."

The Fromal family Jason, Kelsey and their son The Fromal family in Erie
Who We Are

A local Erie family building something we wished existed.

We're Kelsey and Jason Fromal. We moved to Erie in 2020 and haven't looked back — it's genuinely the best place we've found to raise a family. The community, the pace, the people. We mean it.

Erie's outdoor amenities are already incredible. But for indoor play, Kelsey found herself driving outside of Erie multiple times a week just to find somewhere worth going. Every time we took our son somewhere, we were the entertainment — managing, hovering, filling the gaps.

We wanted a place where he could get absorbed in something real and we could actually exhale. That place didn't exist in Erie. So we decided to build it ourselves, for our family and for everyone else's.

Why It's Different

Built with intention. Grounded in child development.

Kelsey holds a M.Ed. in Child Development. Every zone, every material, every element of Little Grove has been intentionally designed for how young minds actually grow — not how we think they should.

That means open-ended play over structured activities. Spaces that invite exploration rather than direct it. Children ages 0–7 develop most through child-led play — and Little Grove is built entirely around that truth.

This isn't a place that happens to have kids in it. It was designed for them, by someone who has spent years studying exactly what they need.

👩‍💼
Woman-Owned

Little Grove is founded and led by Kelsey Fromal — built by a mom, for families.

🎓
M.Ed. in Child Development

Every design decision is rooted in how children ages 0–7 actually learn and grow.

Local Erie Family

We live here, raise our kids here, and are investing in this community for the long term.
