urban monkeys



	urban monkeys was born when gina hadley and jeanna peterson met and found they shared a vision — they imagined a place in seattle that would offer classes for children while making their parents feel cared for.


	a place where both parent and child's interests are at stake. a place that offers the best children's classes and the best weekly reading material. a place that you can learn how exercise and movement will benefit your child's development and you can still send that final email of the day. a place where you children will develop friendships and you can connect with your friends about the newest restaurant in town. a place where your kids will stomp their feet and you can also leave with newly painted toes. a place where you both want to go.
