Children ages 5 and under will receive free general admission to inspireU from Saturday, March 21, through Saturday, March 28, during a special week of play presented by the S.A. Simpson Trust.
The event aims to provide safe, creative spaces for young children to explore and interact with their families within the historic Plymouth building.
Stacey Hill of the S.A. Simpson Trust sponsored the initiative to ensure more families can access the institution, noting that such environments set the stage for future success. Hill stated that the investment in the space encourages imagination and exploration, reflecting the impact similar institutions had on her own childhood.
The week’s schedule features various activities, including "Spring Rainbow Rain Sticks," a program offered twice daily that is free with admission. On Sunday, March 22, and Sunday, March 29, families can take pictures with the Easter Bunny from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Additional paid events include a DIY Sensory Dough workshop and a "Tool Time" session scheduled for Friday, March 27.
During the weekdays of March 23–26, the facility will host Easter-themed iterations of its regular programming. These sessions include Music and Movement, Story Time, and Sensory Explorers. Each program is designed to foster individual wellness and community vitality through hands-on engagement.
The initiative is supported by the Mosaic Life Care Foundation, which focuses on innovative health care solutions and the social determinants of health. The Foundation works to create lasting change and economic stability within the local community. Visitors can find more information and plan their attendance by visiting inspireu.com.
