At Tier Pediatrics, we often talk about “prescribing play.” It is the primary way children develop cognitive skills, physical dexterity, and emotional strength. That’s why we were so excited to visit the new Happy Days Parties, Play & Café —and even more thrilled to discover a wonderful personal connection.
A Full-Circle Connection
Community is at the heart of what we do, and sometimes that community comes full circle in the most beautiful ways. Perhaps you saw the buzz about Happy Days on Macaroni KID Binghamton like we did. When we went to check it out for ourselves, we realized the owner, Kelsey, was actually a patient of our practice!
Seeing our patients grow up to become entrepreneurs who give back to our local families is the ultimate reward. We couldn’t be prouder to support her new venture.
Why “Play Cafes” are a Win for Development
Beyond the fun, spaces like Happy Days provide critical developmental benefits:
- Sensory Exploration: With the variety of imaginative play stations, children are engaging their senses and building motor skills.
- Social Milestones: These environments allow kids to practice sharing, turn-taking, and navigating social cues in a safe, controlled environment.
- Parental Wellness: Let’s be honest—parents need a “third space” too! A place where your child can play safely while you enjoy a coffee and connect with other adults is vital for parental mental health.
Mark Your Calendars: Our First Sponsored Play Day!
We believe so strongly in the power of community and play that we’ve decided to take our support a step further. We are thrilled to announce that Tier Pediatrics will be sponsoring one full day of play every month at Happy Days Parties, Play & Café!
On these special days, our patients and new families can come experience the café and play for free, courtesy of our practice. It’s our way of saying thank you to our families and supporting a local business owned by one of our own.
