Developmental experiences, child-directed activities and play-based learning in Pasadena, CA

Romp & Rollick is not currently holding any classes. Our owner Meryl is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. We hope to play with you again soon!

What we offer

Young children learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. That's why we offer a range of outdoor developmental experiences, including story time, process art, and sensory experiences. These experiences are designed to stimulate your child's curiosity and imagination.

By offering child-directed activities, we empower children to take ownership of their learning. We encourage caregivers to step back and observe their children’s behavior with curiosity to gain a deeper understanding of their child’s natural abilities and motivations.  These developmental experiences create opportunities for your child's cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development.

“The patience and energy of Teacher Meryl. She is very caring and I love how she allows the children to be free and explore with no pressure for the child or parent.”

“My daughter was obsessed after one day. The story time is fun with fantastic book choices, the art and sensory play lets them run wild and get messy which we find hard to do at home, and the big shady backyard is always cool even on hot summer mornings. Miss Meryl is hugely knowledgable and fun and a wonderful facilitator. Love this place!”
