New to the neighborhood or interested in meeting other parents or caregivers from your hood? Every Thursday we will feature two different Seattle-area communities for our play dates! Community residents with matching zip codes will get 1/2 Price admission on specific dates and times (regularly $5 with purchase) so don’t forget your current ID (or mail addressed to you).

Now Enrolling for Mommy Matters Series!

Twirl Cafe is excited to host another weekly series of Mommy Matters a dynamic workshop for moms of toddlers/preschoolers ranging in age from 18 months to 3.5 years old.

Share experiences about adjusting to motherhood, balancing family life with other life challenges, working outside the home and/or staying at home, coping with change, and learning to nurture relationships with child(ren) and partner while taking care of yourself.



We want to make sure you understand that Mommy Matters is not individual or group therapy. This group is not for individuals in need of greater services than a 12 hour psycho-education workshop can provide. We are happy to provide you with referrals for more intensive services if that is appropriate.

Registration Required - go to www.mommymattersseattle.com

Exciting New Faces during Supervised Play Sessions!

We are excited to announce our new partnership with College Nannies and Tutors! Starting December 1st, their staff of experienced nannies will be helping watch the kiddos during our Supervised Play sessions on Mondays and Wednesday mornings!

Here's a little info about what they are all about:


College Nannies and Tutors is the nation’s largest employer of nannies. With local ownership, they have been providing nannies to Seattle families since March of 2009. College Nannies’ approach to childcare is active, engaged fun! Every College Nanny is background screened, reference checked and experienced in care of children. Our Nanny Placement Manager personally interviews, screens and trains each of our nannies. Whether it’s a night out, a day on the golf course or a weekend away, their Hourly Childcare Nannies are the perfect option. Or if you have a regular activity you need childcare for, their Part Time College Nanny program may be a good fit. They work individually with each family and build a job description to meet their specific needs.



They are offering FREE Enrollment into their On Call Hourly Childcare ($99 value) to Twirl Cafe customers! Call Katie McWilliams at 206.659.4156, and mention Twirl Cafe!

Drop by the cafe during our supervised play sessions, Mondays and Wednesdays from 9AM to Noon and meet our new childcare providers (and maybe sneak in a few chapters of that book you've been meaning to finish!)
