What are the responsibilities and job description for the Party Coordinator position at The Village Play Space?
Overview:
The Village Playspace is a Montessori inspired play space for kids (0-6) to freely explore, learn, and create their own adventures. Every toy and play structure is carefully curated to support the development of children ages 0-6. The play space offers a mix of imagination play, climbing structures, sensory play and an area for messy crafts. In addition to providing a space for the kids, we want to bring parents together in the same life stage, to form today’s version of “The Village”, swapping parenting hacks, and hopefully, creating life-long friendships.
