SCIENCE BIRTHDAY PARTY FAQ

What is the maximum number of children we can invite?

We can accommodate a maximum of 25 children (including the birthday child). We ask that families provide us with the anticipated headcount so our educators can properly prepare the science activity.

​

Does the birthday child count towards the total number of children?

Yes, your child will be included when determining the final headcount of children.

 

What about younger children/siblings?

Children are only counted if they are actively participating in the science activity portion of the party. Please note, for Option #1 (food included), SMLI determines how much pizza to order based on the headcount provided by the family.

​

Do you provide food for the adults?

We only order enough pizza for the expected number of children. Additional pies for the adults can be requested, with a $22 per pie fee. 

​

Can I bring in additional food?

Families are allowed to bring in additional food (sandwiches/wraps, chips, veggie platters, cookies, soda (no alcohol allowed). 

​

Can I have an outside caterer for Option #2? 

We do not allow outside catering at our traditional birthday parties. Outside caterers can only be used for private event rentals, which are booked separately (contact info@smli.org to learn more).

​

Can we bring decorations?

Yes, families are allowed to bring in simple decorations. Please note: NO BALLOONS ALLOWED. 

​

How early can we arrive?

Families are welcome to arrive up to 30 minutes before their scheduled party, and may park in our staff lot behind the main building.
