Our mission is to help children thrive through their natural desire to play. We recognize that this only serves part of our community, as caregivers need support too! We're here to make sure that families in Jefferson County have a place to come together, play, learn, and get the help they need.

Our commitment is to serve Jefferson County families for the long haul, with these goals in mind:

We're here to stay, providing support for generations.

We want to strengthen our ties with the community and local organizations.

We aim to expand our educational programs to benefit even more children and parents.

We plan to partner with counseling services to help families with a variety of professionals.

Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or participating in our programs, makes all the difference. Together, we're building a brighter future for Jefferson County families.

Post Partum Support

We host postpartum support groups as often as we can to provide connection and resources for parents. We recognize the lack of services for this common parent challenge nationwide, and also in our county. We collaborate with other agencies and professionals to provide education and support.

Community Outreach

We connect with other organizations, agencies, and individuals as often as we can. We collaborate with Headstart/JFCAC frequently for post partum support, The Salvation Army for Holiday Gift Distribution, and many other Jefferson County services to better support our families. Furthermore, we try to attend as many community events we can to share our mission and the importance of play!

"Been here many times! It is a much needed place to the littles in our community. I appreciate how much the activities and the toys change to keep my child interested. It's always fun to come back and see all the changes! The sensory room is always fun, especially for my child who isn't about getting dirty, it gives her a safe space to explore. The town is better off having a space like this for our children!"

Sarah C.

"Great place for kids. Awesome environment. Tons of options for kids to play with and the owners were wonderful."

Lindsey H.

"A friend and I took our 2 years olds here. This place is perfect for toddlers! Made a rainy day playdate so much more fun. She offers 2 large spaces. The main area has a wide variety of toys, things to climb on and little set ups. The back area had sensory tables, water play and art supplies. And offers complementary coffee and water. For this tired mama was a huge bonus! Can’t wait to go back!"

Kevin A.

"This place rocks. I can get my work done on the wifi, have a cup of coffee and my kid is having a blast!"

Your generous donations play a pivotal role in transforming our nonprofit playroom into a space of boundless joy and comfort for children and families. Here's a glimpse of what your support achieves:

1. Clean and Welcoming Environment: Your contributions enable us to maintain a pristine playroom, ensuring that every child's experience is in a clean and hygienic space.

2. Exciting Toy Rotation: Donations help us regularly update our toy collection, keeping children engaged and excited during their visits. It means new learning opportunities and endless imaginative play.

3. Nurturing Refreshments: By providing coffee, water, and snacks for both children and caregivers, you create a welcoming atmosphere for families to relax, refresh, and connect with one another. It's the little comforts that make a big difference.

4. Diapers and Wipes: Your support offers a safety net for families who may forget these essential items at home. This simple act of kindness ensures that every visit is free from stress and full of enjoyment.

5. Sensory Material Adventure: Messy play is a gateway to learning and exploration. Your donations cover the costs of sensory materials, making messy play fun and educational. It's a tactile, creative journey for children to discover the world.
