Mission & Vision

We believe children learn best through play. Our goal is to create a spark that develops into a lifelong love of learning. We want kids to reach their full potential so they can make a difference in the world, and we know they can. 

​

We want to provide the children of Culpeper with a special place to use their imagination and develop critical thinking skills through engaging, hands-on play.

Our Story

What do you get when a teacher, a business woman, and a lawyer walk into a playground?

​

We are three moms who wanted something special for our children. We met chatting at playgrounds and all agreed our kids needed something more- there are not many places to take our kids when we need to be indoors. We wanted to create a space where kids could play and learn because we all know our kids learn best through engaging and creative play. We are part of our target audience so we know exactly what our community needs. One day we decided to hit the ground running and make our dream a reality. So what do you get when a teacher, a business woman, and a lawyer walk onto a playground?
