A Long Island "momtrepreneur" is opening a business just for kids this summer in Wantagh.
Kidville Wantagh, the brainchild of Oceanside's Alexis Fritz, will cater to south shore families by housing classes, parties, and events for families and energetic children.
“As a Long Island mother I always want what is best for my child," said Fritz. "Kidville’s unique approach to childhood development and engagement attracted me to the franchise."

Fritz decided to open a franchise of her own after experiencing parties with her own two-year-old daughter.
"When I learned more about the imaginative and innovative programs, I quickly decided I wanted my community to benefit from what Kidville has to offer," she said. "Knowing that early childhood development specialists were involved in the creation of the programs gave me even greater confidence that this franchise was for me.”
