The Little Lounge is designed to support development while helping kids stay regulated—and to give parents a calm space to relax, connect, and enjoy the journey.

Hi, I'm Samantha

I imagined a space that felt calm, cozy, and developmentally enriching.

I envisioned a peaceful, purposeful play space for young children that also feels welcoming and supportive for parents that are raising children of all abilities.

As a parent and as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I found myself searching for a place where little ones could explore, learn, and develop essential skills without the chaos of overstimulating play centers or environments that did not support children’s regulation when participating in new spaces.

The idea for The Little Lounge was born out of a simple yet powerful need in the South Tampa area.

How The Little Lounge Came to Life

A place where every toy, activity, and corner of the room is intentionally chosen. A place where parents can take a deep breath. A place where every family feels seen, supported, and at home.

Whether you're looking for calm open play, expert-led enrichment, or a welcoming community of parents, you will find it here.
