Why Founding Members Matter
Highland House is being built slowly and thoughtfully — not rushed.
Founding Members make it possible for us to invest in:
Safe, baby-friendly materials and layouts
Thoughtful design that reduces stress for parents
High-quality play structures and interactive elements
A space that feels calm, welcoming, and genuinely supportive
In return, Founding Members receive early access, exclusive perks, and a special membership rate during our opening years.

✔ Unlimited play during open hours
✔ Early access to soft openings
✔ Priority booking for classes, workshops, and events
✔ Exclusive Highland House merch
✔ Complimentary family photo session with founder & photographer Hannah Dunsirn (valued at $600)
✔ Recognition as a Founding Family
Founding Families save more, especially with siblings.
Basic membership starts at $135/month plus $40/month per sibling. Founding Families pay $90/month for the first 12 months, with all siblings included.
