Whatever your reason, whatever your season, we’re here.

We have a lot of new faces around here lately, and with our busy season getting ready to kick into gear, we thought it was about time we properly introduced ourselves! 👋

Hi! We are Cat and Caylor, the owners of PonderPlay. We are local parents who have probably spent way too many hours thinking about how to make PonderPlay cleaner, safer, more fun, and more helpful for local families. We, along with our friends and family, built PonderPlay from the concrete floor up and we couldn't be more proud of what we created.

PonderPlay started with a pretty simple idea: families in our community deserve a place where kids can PLAY and parents can breathe a little. No snowsuit required.

Over the past two years, you’ve watched us grow, change, try new things, celebrate birthdays, host events, welcome new families, and occasionally make a little bit of a mess along the way.

We are just really excited that we get to be part of this community. Thank you!

So whether you’ve been coming since day one or you just found us this week—WELCOME! We’re so glad you’re here. ❤️

If we haven’t met yet, come say hi the next time you’re in. I’d love to meet you and your crew!

Here’s to a busy, fun-filled season at PonderPlay. Let’s play! 🎉

💛 A Note From Us:

This has been such a journey, it’s hard not to compare it to a child turning two. In these past two years, we have found our legs and some of our stride, we’ve found some of our words and thrown many tantrums. It’s been full of big feelings that sometimes come out like “I don’t know if this is going to work”, but usually feel like “Wow, look at what we did!” We are full of endless thank you’s for each other (Cat & Caylor, wife and husband, partners in life and business), for our kids (who absolutely had no idea what we had signed them up for), our parents and siblings (who have given endless support), our friends, acquaintances who have become friends. Mostly, though, we are grateful for YOU. We would not be here without you. You did this, we did this. Together is always the way. See you next year.

Thank you for being part of our PonderPlay family. We couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to another year of play, connection, and community! 🎈
