My future goals
I would like to have my business funded and operational by October 2022. I have a milestone set to acquire funding and a location by July 31st 2022.
My motivations to work with a mentor
I have the motivation and confidence for my business plan and the purpose of Back to Play. I have local networks and resources for long term success and growth. What I lack is the business education and financial perspective to have a solid plan and preparedness for the start up.
About my venture
Back to Play
Welcome Back to Play! We are hoping to establish a safe, fun, sensory-oriented play space for children aged 6 months through school-aged. Our business will create a location where children can explore and learn through the magic of play with their peers and loved ones. Our goals not only include encouraging independent play, but also exploration in designated spaces incorporating various sensorimotor, linguistic, creative expression, and social building activities. To achieve each of these objectives, the play space will be complemented with additional services including but not limited to collaborative reading time, music exploration, sensory play experiments, and physical activities. In the future, we hope to incorporate private events and/or spaces for homeschool “hubs”, foster care youth, and parent/child dedicated dates. We would love to have a public space available for exploratory play, but also a space that can serve the community of Jefferson County in various features, such as parent education, first aid, CPR, and BLS education classes. We hope to be an asset to our county for families as both a fun resource and support.
Countries of operation: United States of America
