🌿 Play Café, Programs & Services 🦋
Located in the heart of downtown Elizabethtown — a play café open to the public, plus therapy and family programs, all in one place.
🦋 Play Café — Open to the Public!
🌸 Special Play Sessions
- Caregiver & Me Mornings — FREE! Tuesdays, 8:30–9:15 AM (45 min). A free Parent & Me hour for caregivers and children 3 and under to enjoy calm, connection-focused play together.
- Sensory Awareness Hour — FREE! Mondays, 1:00–2:00 PM (50 min). We lower the lights and create a calmer, gentler play environment to welcome our sensory-sensitive friends. Open to all families.
- Book Nook Tuesdays — Join us for quiet reading and lunch. The café is only open to readers from 1:00–2:00 PM. Bring your book, find a good spot, and read! Rooms are available for book clubs who want to share and chat.
- Wednesday Class Field Trips — Schedule your class's open play field trip with a built-in feelings or academic activity for half price per student. Email EmmaS@theolivebranchtppc.com to schedule. We host one class per Wednesday, no more than 35 kids.
- Theme Play Fridays — $18, free for TCM clients (1 hr 15 min). Each Friday, the play café hosts a rotating themed play hour designed to spark imagination and connection. Activity included. Parent drop-off allowed but not required.
Thursdays tend to be a little more crowded than usual, since it's TCM Thursdays for our therapy friends enrolled in TCM services — free lunch, activities, and open play. Come join the fun, or plan your visit for a quieter day if you prefer more space to play!

We handle the mess so you can hold the moment.
We believe childhood play is meant to be explored—not managed.
At Olive Branch, children are invited to move, create, build, spill, splash, and imagine without the pressure of staying clean or “getting it right.” Mess is part of learning, and we make room for it so parents don’t have to carry that worry.
Our play environment is intentionally designed by a mental health therapist, with big feelings, emotional regulation, and inclusivity in mind. Every space, material, and play structure is chosen to support sensory needs, emotional safety, and developmental growth—so children of all abilities feel welcomed, seen, and supported.
We also believe parents deserve space to think, work, and exhale while staying close and connected. Our play café allows caregivers to remain on-site, settle into comfortable seating or a workspace, and keep eyes on their child as they explore safely.
Here, children are free to be curious and expressive, and parents are free to be present without being pulled in every direction. We hold the mess—so you can hold the moment.
