Read Play Love Open House
October 1 & 2, 2026
Come out to the Read Play Love Exploratory in E. McKinney as we kick off the Fall Mini-Mester! Try out our Fall classes, see our space, connect with new and old friends, and get a taste of what Read Play Love is all about.
We're here to offer meaningful experiences through the arts and the outdoors -- what we call Free-Range Creativity. Families love to linger after their classes and enjoy the RPL Exploratory: exploring two acres of outdoor playspace, visiting our friendly chickens, or cuddling up with a book from our extensive children’s library.
While we primarily serve homeschooling families, all are welcome. As a 501(c)3 organization, our mission is to empower youth through the arts and create an inclusive culture of love.
Read descriptions of Open House activities below. Attendance is free but reservations are required. Please RSVP on this form so that we can prepare for space and supplies.
