PLAYSTICITY
PLAY WITH PURPOSE
A place for child-led imaginary play.
Created for children ages 12 and under.
Opening Late Fall 2024
3475 Fraser Street
Drop-in supervised fun - 7 days a week.
We're here to make life easier and more fun for families in the Lower Mainland.
Our mission is simple: support parents with reliable, last-minute supervised play and provide an inspiring space where kids can dive into creativity, adventure, and growth in a secure and nurturing environment.
Our convenient programs include flexible 1 to 2-hour drop-in childcare sessions available seven days a week.
WHAT IS PLAYSTICITY?
Playsticity is a space for unstructured, imagination-powered activities for children. It allows children to create and explore their own worlds through make-believe, turning everyday objects into something magical.
We believe that chronological age and development stage are not synonymous, so we cater to all ages through a variety of different sessions.
If your child is fully potty-trained, they are welcome in our drop-off sessions, as long as they meet the posted age range.
Younger children are welcome during caregiver participation sessions.

Birthdays & Events
We offer programs for various age groups to ensure every child has a fun and engaging experience. Because children develop at different rates, our listed age ranges serve as a guide.
For example, if your child’s third birthday isn’t for a few months, it does not mean they cannot attend a session for 3-5 year olds.
Our caregiver supervised free play is available for children ages 0-5, where one caregiver is welcome to bring up to four children of any age.
We also specialize in hosting birthday parties and events, which can be booked in both public and private options.

WE AREN’T A “DAYCARE”, AND THIS IS WHY...
Founder,
Kasey McCandless
Unlike typical daycares with rigid schedules and structured activities, Playsticity offers a flexible, drop-in environment that stimulates creativity and develops essential executive functioning (EF) skills.
Our space features versatile materials like rope, fabric, pillows, blocks, and products from Nugget, Imagination Playground, Superspace, and Everblock, allowing kids to explore and create through imaginative play. These ambiguous, multi-purpose materials inspire a variety of options for engaging child-led play.
We focus on creating a playful, enriching environment where children can grow, imagine, and have fun—setting us apart from traditional daycare settings and other children’s programs.
