Meet Our Beloved Co-Founder – known affectionately as Ms. Robin or Mimi, Robin was a driving force behind Little Play Place since its inception in late 2019. Together with her daughter Rayna, she poured her heart and soul into building and operating our family business.
Tragically, we lost Robin in early 2023, leaving an irreplaceable void in our hearts and in our community. She will forever be cherished and deeply missed.
Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Robin made Tampa Bay her home in the 1980s. As a mother of three and grandmother of four, family was always at the center of her world.
Robin’s spirit continues to inspire us every day at Little Play Place. We honor her memory by carrying forward her dedication to creating a nurturing environment where families can thrive and children can learn through play.
We are a female owned + operated business born in Tampa, Florida dedicated to uplifting our local families!
We’re more than just a play studio; we’re a nurturing environment designed to foster memories and empower children to reach their developmental milestones.
We believe in the magic of pretend play to ignite children’s imaginations, foster creativity, and nurture growth. Through engaging play experiences, children naturally cultivate essential cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
Beyond play, we integrate practical life lessons, teaching children valuable skills as they venture through a world of growth and discovery.
Every play space is meticulously crafted with input from our esteemed Play Panel™, which comprises parents, early childhood educators, play therapists, pediatric occupational therapists, and speech pathologists.
At Little Play Place, we champion the essence of childhood.
Our mission is to cultivate a fun and educational environment for children within our community.
We created Little Play Place, also known as LPP, to be a space that fosters play, learning, and community gathering, nurturing the growth of future generations.
Pioneering the future of children’s indoor play studios, Little Play Place aims to redefine the landscape of early childhood development through innovation, creativity, and unparalleled quality. Little Play Place is committed to leading the way in children’s indoor play by inspiring joy, curiosity, and lifelong learning in every child who walks through our doors.
At Little Play Place, we’re dedicated to providing a safe, pristine, and delightful play experience for your entire family. Our goal is to facilitate stronger connections between you and your littles in an environment tailored to your needs.
“This is the most adorable play place I’ve ever been to! It’s not the type of physical play place with mats and large spaces to run, it’s completely unique and perfect for imaginative play!
There are multiple different areas like a salon, an office, a grocery store, a house, a school, etc… and everything is at your kids level. It’s extremely clean, bright, and cheerful.
There is also a small section in the front for younger children with a pikler triangle and soft mats and toys.
Seriously, if you need something to do during the day with your kids GO HERE. If there is a subscription, this would be the perfect gift from grandparents!”
We’ll send you occasional messages with special sales and events.
