Why I Created The Jamboree Club: A New Joint for Family Fun

After working full-time in public relations for nearly 15 years , I traded press releases and deadlines for diapers and nap schedules. Becoming a stay-at-home mom was one of the most rewarding (and isolating) chapters of my life. I missed making social connections and craved meaningful places to take my kids that felt safe, engaging, and fun.

Like many parents, I tried indoor playgrounds. They were fine… sort of. The kids had fun, sure, but the experience often felt lacking. Sporadic hours, cluttered chaos, no cozy spot for grown-ups to relax, and overpriced, processed snacks made it hard to call these places our “go-to.” Seven years (and plenty of lukewarm coffee) later, I realized what my family and so many others were still looking for: a reliable, family-friendly third space where connection, play, and community come together. Enter The Jamboree Club.

More than just another indoor play café or soft play space, The Jamboree Club is a community hub built from my love of parenting and the joy of experiencing live music. And as strange as it might sound, the two have more in common than you'd think:

Community & Connection

Just like live music thrives on collective energy, The Jamboree Club is designed to be more than a change of scenery. It’s a place for families to belong. Whether you're bonding over coffee during open play or connecting at a parenting workshop, our goal is to help families build a network of support and friendship.

Inclusivity & Acceptance

The Jamboree Club is built for every kind of family. Inspired by the diversity found at music festivals and shows, we believe in creating a judgment-free, welcoming space where parents and kids of all backgrounds feel seen and celebrated.

Mindfulness & Presence

Parenting can be chaotic, but there’s magic in slowing down. Like those long, improvisational jams that pull you into the present moment, our space encourages parents and children to unplug and just be. Whether you're dancing, crafting, or building forts, we make room for presence over perfection.

Sustainability & Social Good

Live music communities often rally around social causes and eco-conscious practices. At The Jamboree Club, we share those values. From using sustainable materials to supporting local charities, we’re committed to giving back and doing good.

Freedom & Expression

Kids need room to move—and so do grown-ups. We celebrate creativity, playfulness, and the kind of self-expression that reminds you how to be silly, brave, and true to yourself. Whether your child is learning through dynamic play or you’re letting loose in a music and movement class, there's freedom in the flow.

Generosity & Sharing

Live music fans are known for trading songs, snacks, and smiles—and that same spirit lives at The Jamboree Club. We believe in the power of community care, whether it’s through a shared parenting tip, an extra cup of coffee, or a support group that lifts you up.

Growth & Transformation

Parenting is the ultimate jam session: improvised, evolving, and filled with discovery. We created The Jamboree Club as a place where kids can explore the world around them and where parents are supported through the ups and downs of raising good humans.

Whether you're looking for your new favorite indoor play space, a cozy café where your toddler can tumble while you connect with other parents, or a vibrant community rooted in shared values, The Jamboree Club is your invitation to join the jam.

Let’s play. Let’s connect. Let’s grow. Together.
