Now we’re just waiting for our SLIDE to arrive next week, and this two story play area will officially be fully built and ready to become home to 7 NEW THEMED PLAY AREAS!!

Can you guess the first 7 by our emojis??

🧩 EVERY PIECE HAS A PLACE AT THE HAVEN! 🧩

Different families. Different stories. Different colors. One community. One Haven.

We are SO excited to share our vision for The Haven Community Sponsor Wall!

When we started dreaming about The Haven Play Cafe , we wanted to create more than just an indoor play space. We wanted to build a place where children could play, families could connect, friendships could grow, and everyone who walked through our doors would feel like they belonged.

That's exactly what these puzzle pieces represent!

Every puzzle piece is unique, just like every person and family in our community. Each piece has its own name, color, and story. But when they come together, they create something bigger than any one piece could create alone.

Because that's what community is all about. Finding your people. Making connections. And knowing there's a place where you fit in.

We would LOVE for you and your family to become a piece of our Haven!

🧩 $50 | Little Haven Friend(s)
Add your child or children's first names to a personalized puzzle piece!

🧩 $75 | Haven Family
Proudly display your family name on our Community Sponsor Wall!

🧩 $100 | Combination — Family + Individual Names
Make your puzzle piece even more personal by displaying your family name along with individual family members' first names underneath!

🎨 PICK YOUR PIECE, PICK YOUR COLOR!

Choose from our six beautiful pastel colors:

🧡 Orange | 💛 Yellow | 💚 Green
💙 Blue | 💜 Purple | 🩷 Pink

Every sponsorship helps us put the finishing touches on The Haven and brings us one step closer to opening our doors!

And the best part? Your puzzle piece will become a lasting part of The Haven!

Imagine bringing your children in to play, finding their names on the wall, and reminding them that they helped make this special place possible.

We hope this wall becomes a beautiful reminder that we all have something to contribute, that every family matters, and that everyone deserves a place where they belong.

📩 READY TO MAKE YOUR MARK?

Reserving your puzzle piece is easy!

🧩 Every piece matters. Every person belongs. Together, we make The Haven whole.

We truly have the BEST neighbors! 🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful neighbors, the Hernandez Family for generously donating several items to The Haven Play Cafe !

It really does take a village to bring a dream like this to life, and we are incredibly grateful for ours!

Another special donation for The Haven Play Cafe

Thank you to Megan with Sparkle & Spice Boutique for another generous donation! We continue to be so incredibly thankful for the people and local businesses who are helping us bring this space to life.

And of course… we couldn’t stop by without doing a little shopping of our own! 🛍️🤣 With Sparkle & Spice currently having their storefront closeout, we were able to snag some adorable goodies while we were there!

While Megan is closing the physical storefront, don’t worry, Sparkle & Spice isn’t going anywhere! 🫶🏼You’ll still be able to shop with her online, so make sure you continue following and supporting her!

Small businesses supporting small businesses.

Community supporting community. That’s what it’s all about.

♿️🚧 More exciting improvements happening at The Haven Play Cafe 🚧♿️

It may not be the most glamorous part of opening a play cafe, but these are the kinds of improvements that mean SO much to us!

🚗 A brand new speed bump behind The Haven!

We’ve had concerns about vehicles using the drive behind our building as a shortcut and traveling through a little too quickly. With little ones and families coming and going, safety is incredibly important to us. We’re so thankful to have a new speed bump in to help slow down traffic and make the area around The Haven safer for everyone.

♿️ AND we now have TWO brand new accessible parking spaces right in front of our cafe!

Creating a space that is welcoming and accessible for children and families of all abilities has been important to us from the very beginning. Having accessible parking right outside our doors is another step toward making The Haven a place where everyone can Gather. Play. Connect. 💙💜💚

Some donations just hit a little differently. 🥹💞

The Lane Family donated a bunch of items to The Haven Play Cafe , and I’m feeling incredibly grateful.

There’s something so special about having the people who know you personally believe in the dream you’ve been working so hard to build. They’ve heard about the late nights, the never-ending projects, the exciting moments, the stressful moments, and everything in between and then they show up and say, “I want to help.” 🥹🫶🏼

Every single item donated is one less thing we have to purchase and one more piece of The Haven coming together before we open our doors. And when you’re building a small business from the ground up, that means more than people probably realize.

I’m so thankful for this friendship, for the support, and for the generosity shown to our family and this crazy dream of ours. 💙💜💚

Thank you for believing in The Haven and, even more, for believing in us.

We truly have some of the best people in our corner.

Another incredibly generous donation for The Haven Play Cafe 💙💜💚

We continue to be amazed by the people who are stepping up to help us bring The Haven Play Cafe to life. 🥹

Margie Guzmán generously donated foam flooring for our infant play area, helping us create a softer, safer, and more comfortable space for our tiniest Haven guests to explore, move, play, and grow. 👶🏼

When you’re opening a small business, there are SO many little things that quickly add up and donations like this truly make a difference. Every item donated allows us to put more back into creating a beautiful, welcoming space for the children and families in our community.

We are getting closer and closer to opening our doors, and it is so special knowing that pieces of The Haven have been contributed by the very community we created it for. 💞
