Congratulations on the happy news! A baby is a wonderful blessing that comes with plenty of challenges, joy and lifestyle changes. For many new parents, finding a community that is safe, friendly and brimming with everything you need to raise a baby is high on the list. Here’s just some of what San Carlos and the area around Wheeler Plaza has to offer.
Bird in the Nest: Although there are many of your regular retailers and mall staples in this area, Bird in the Nest offers that extra something special that makes it a local favorite. Located at 1568 Laurel Street, you’ll find everything from mid-to-high-end maternity clothes, baby clothes, toys, accessories, strollers and snow clothes. There’s new and used items as well as a great rewards program.
Baby Boot Camp: Fitness, health, nutrition and community support is what Baby Boot Camp’s mommy and me programs are all about! These programs serve the San Carlos area as well as nearby Belmont and Redwood City, so it’s a great way to connect with your neighbors. With trained instructors and a focus on effective workouts where your baby is an essential part of your physical training, moms get great bonding time as well as a chance to get outdoors, get fit and meet new people.
Broadway Babies & Kids: This is an indoor play and performing arts studio at 1101 Laurel Street for babies and children up to 12 years of age where your child can learn how to sing, dance and act in a fun, safe environment. You can attend a free trial class to see if you like it and there are great discounts for signing up siblings. For babies, classes focus on open play, while older children can start learning a wide range of performance arts, from tap dancing and theatre acting to singing and more.
These are just three of the many great benefits of the San Carlos area, which is home to well-regarded schools, lively local restaurants and even a farmer’s market. When you live at Wheeler Plaza, you and your family can really have it all!
