A Play Space Built With Heart, Intention, and Community at Its Core

Where little ones explore at their own pace, and caregivers find the modern village they’ve been searching for.

Bloom + Grow began the way many meaningful things do: With a mother, a toddler, and a longing for connection.

As a young mom, Alison Sorbera dreamed of a place that felt both calm and inspiring. A space where her child could explore safely and joyfully, and where she could meet other caregivers navigating the same season of life.

She imagined a welcoming hub for families
… a beautiful, sensory-aware environment
… and a community where everyone, from parents to grandparents to nannies and therapists, could feel seen and supported.

Bloom and Grow Play Space grew from that simple hope:
To create a space that feels like an exhale. A place full of curiosity, connection, and the quiet joy of watching little ones bloom.

What We Believe (Brand Values)

  • Designed for Calm, Creative Exploration

    Every detail (from natural materials to soft colours to open-ended play invitations) encourages imagination, storytelling, and gentle discovery.

  • Inclusive, Accessible, Sensory-Aware

    We welcome every child and every caregiver. Our environment is intentionally created to support comfort, focus, and joy for all abilities and needs.

  • Play is Powerful

    We believe in the magic of make-believe. Simple objects become worlds of possibility, and shared play becomes a foundation for lifelong learning.

  • Community Comes First

    Bloom and Grow is more than a play space. It’s a place to slow down, meet new friends, and feel supported by the people around you.
