About us

Welcome to our child-centered play space where the focus is on fostering independence, curiosity, and a love for learning! Our specially designed environment encourages children to explore and discover through hands-on activities and self-directed play. Our space allows children to take the lead in their own imaginative journey, promotes socialization and cooperation, as well as respect for individuality. Come join us and let your child's natural curiosity guide their experience!

Meet Krista

Hi! I’m Krista, but you can call me Ris! I had the dream to start Fledglings & Folk when I had my second child in 2022. I found HRM was missing a thoughtful space that would allow parents to bring their infants/babies/crawlers, as well as their older children in a space that would cater to the different ages.  I was also looking for a space that would challenge my kids in an imaginative and social way, rather than a strictly physical way. Thus, Fledglings & Folk was born!

Though I am Ontario raised, I am Nova Scotia strayed… for good! I am settled here with my husband, 2 kids, & 2 kitty cats! We are so delighted to be part of this community & hope to make some meaningful connections with so many of you!
