Looking ahead, they also plan to partner with local businesses and community organizations to bring special events, pop-up classes, and other family-friendly experiences to Kinder Corner.

About the Founder: Sara’s Story

After working in transportation, Sara found herself at a crossroads after becoming a mom to two young children, ages 2 and 5. She knew she wanted to make a career change and began dreaming about creating something that would bring the experiences and sense of wonder she loved from traveling closer to home for local families.

Bringing that vision to life wasn’t always easy. Sara had to make countless adjustments to her original plans to meet regulations, fire codes, and other requirements for the space. But rather than let those challenges change her dream, she persevered — adapting her vision while staying true to the heart of what she wanted to create.

The result is a thoughtfully designed, magical space where families can play, explore, and make memories together. Even the details reflect Sara’s commitment to creating something special: the wood used throughout the space is locally sourced and treated with fire-retardant materials.

What started as a desire for a career change has grown into something much bigger — a place inspired by Sara’s own experiences as a mom and her hope to create a welcoming destination for families right here in the community.
