Snake time

Fifteen to twenty minutes of barefoot, outdoor, on-the-grass sensory play.

Every session includes an optional snake time window in a fenced backyard. You get a push alert the moment it starts so you can tune into the live camera and watch your kid be a kid.

Three hours of quiet starts at $5.

Book your first session. Watch her on the porch with a book and a sippy cup. Get back to work.
