Paragon of Play Launches New Enrichment Hub in Quinte West

Paragon of Play, a renowned enrichment hub dedicated to children, adults, and families, has officially opened its new location in Quinte West, located at 58 Plant St, Batawa. The expansion comes after two and a half years of success at its Belleville site, reflecting a growing demand for accessible enrichment programs in the region.

Owner Jessica Spice, a lifelong resident of the area, expressed her enthusiasm about the new facility. “Running Paragon in Belleville has shown me just how much families value accessible enrichment programming,” she stated. “Expanding to Batawa allows us to serve more families in a beautiful, calm, and welcoming environment. We feel so connected to the history of the area by being in the old Bata Shoe Factory, while also embracing the fresh, vibrant energy of the community.”

Parents will also benefit from offerings including parenting classes, family social events, and opportunities to host private birthday parties. All programs are developed and implemented by experienced educators, ensuring that each participant receives quality enrichment in a supportive atmosphere. The aim is to create a space where families feel welcomed, respected, and encouraged to express themselves freely.
