Play Cafe Start-Up

Hello! My name is Becky and I am in the early stages of creating a "Play Cafe" in Rock County, WI. What does this mean? A "Play Cafe" will provide adults with a grown-up experience where they can sit back, relax, chat with friends, and caffeinate while watching their children explore in our soft play area. Children ages 0-12 are welcome to explore our open space where they will find climbing toys, a castle, a bridge, and a dragon! There will be a treehouse slide that exits into a ball pit, lily pads for hopping across, and a rock wall for climbing. We will have magical, whimsical elements throughout the space. Children will be encouraged to learn, play, explore, and develop friendships in our safe, clean, welcoming, and inclusive environment. I pride myself on being able to create developmentally appropriate activities and environments that encourage creativity while recognizing the importance of having a beautiful, comfortable, and esthetically pleasing space for adults to enjoy too. I can appreciate the need for parents to feel relaxed while their littles play, and though we will not provide supervision, we will have onsite staff in the play area. We will also implement a "kid check" policy to provide an extra level of safety and comfort.

In our home, coffee is our love language, and we speak it often. Tell me, what could be better than a delicious iced coffee or a steamy latte? Enjoying it with cake, of course. Cupcakes, that is. Our "Play Cafe" will have locally baked cupcakes and other sweets and pastries to enjoy. If you have no littles to bring with you, don't fret. You are still welcome to enjoy the experience, fall in love with our coffee and treats, and shop our amazing apothecary store separate from the play area.

We are implementing a business plan to bring all of these elements together in one amazing and creative space. We hope you are as excited as we are to have a "Play Cafe" in the Rock County area. Please help us reach our funding goal to get our vision off the ground. Thank you, and we look forward to meeting you all soon at our "Play Cafe."
