Manhattan Town Center
Manhattan, Kan. – A new concept where children explore a dramatic, tiny town has opened inside Manhattan Town Center. Little Apples Playland creator, Angelia Brinneman, is offering a unique, interactive experience for children of all ages.
“Play is a vital part of early childhood,” said Brinneman. “It fosters learning through child-lead exploration. It is important in developing imagination, dexterity, physical cognition and emotional strength.”
Brinneman brings a background of early childhood education to the mall’s newest store. She has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, Curriculum and Instruction and taught preschool for more than ten years.
Little Apples Playland features 13 separate play spaces featuring themes from a diner, school room, and farmers market to mechanics shop, veterinary office, and constructing digging site. Every space in the Little Apples Playland includes hands-on activities for children to explore imagination through play.
“We’re proud to be able to showcase another successful locally-owned operation that brings a new concept to the area,” said Jeff Sutton, Manhattan Town Center Marketing Manager. “Little Apples Playland adds another component to our tenant mix in addition to the Tooth Story Children’s Play Area.”
The playland will be holding its grand opening event this Saturday, June 29. The event will feature giveaways including a complimentary monthly membership.
