Birthday Parties

Pied Piper School offers birthday parties for all current Pied Piper students as well as their friends and family! Having your child’s party at Pied Piper School is designed to make the day stress free and easy. Your child and their friends can enjoy a celebration in a facility that is familiar and comfortable to them, ran by familiar faces they already know to minimize any separation anxiety! That means that Pied Piper parties are drop-off parties and parents are welcome to leave their child to have fun with friends while they get some time of their own. At Pied Piper we provide an engaging and fun environment to celebrate your child’s special day. We take care of set up and clean up, activities, games, crafts and more so that you can spend the day enjoying and celebrating with your child.
