Macaroni KID Chesterfield-Chester is Growing!

Now serving Powhatan & Ameila

January 6, 2026

We have some exciting news to share. At Macaroni KID Chesterfield-Chester, our mission has always been to help you find your family fun. Whether it’s finding the best local playgrounds, tracking down weekday storytimes, or discovering that perfect weekend festival, we want to be your go-to resource.

But we know that local doesn't stop at the county line. Many of our families live, work, and play in the beautiful surrounding areas. That’s why we are officially expanding our reach to include Powhatan and Amelia, VA!

Why the Expansion?


We’ve noticed that there are many families that work and live on the borders of Chesterfield County! Parents in Powhatan and Amelia have been known to travel to the Chesterfield as well as the Tri-Cities. By bringing these communities into the Macaroni KID Chesterfield-Chester family, we’re creating a "one-stop shop" for beyond.

What to Expect in Powhatan & Amelia


You’ll start seeing more content dedicated to these wonderful communities, including:

  • Hyper-Local Events: From the historic charm of Amelia Court House to the community events at Fighting Creek Park in Powhatan.
  • Outdoor Adventures: Specialized guides for local hidden gems for hiking, fishing, and farm visits.
  • Small Business Spotlights: We’re on a mission to feature the best kid-friendly boutiques, cafes, and classes in Powhatan and Amelia.
  • Seasonal Guides: Our Summer Camp and Holiday guides will now feature even more options closer to home for our Powhatan and Ameila families.
