Meet the Team

We're sisters, Mely and Stephanie. We started The Soft Play Life, as we began our motherhood journey together. After years of adventures with our significant others, we finally decided to grow our families (trust us the grandparents couldn’t be happier) Stephanie had Eliza in 2021 and Mely had Emjay in 2022. The girls are our absolute joy!

We quickly realized how it does take a village to raise a child. We lean on each other for support and guidance so we naturally do everything together: from the basic grocery shopping to classes, or play dates. The girls are now mini besties and are rapidly learning from one another.

As we got closer to celebrating the girls first major milestone; their 1st BIRTHDAY . We knew we didn’t just want to throw a party and the highlight be the cake smash for them. We truly wanted some kind of activity for them to enjoy. We knew exactly what we were looking for but couldn't find the aesthetic vision that met our expectations. Some things were great options but were designed for older kids. It wouldn’t be safe for toddlers. Frustrated, but motivated, we took on the journey to develop THE SOFT PLAY LIFE!

5 stars is not enough! … I picked the mini crawler package 105 in white. They helped match the colors for the party (lily, silver and white), offered many different toy options inside of the softplay and were VERY communicative. Prompt responses, on time set up and I watched them sanitize during the set up. The layout was MAGICAL. Everyone, kids and adults raved about how beautiful everything was. It matched perfectly, was clean and looked regal. They are so warm and friendly and understand exactly what you need for kids to have a good time! They came on time to break down the softplay and returned the deposit very quickly! I have been referring them to all of my mommy friends! Just an all around amazing experience. Thank you guys so much!.”

We had the walking explorer package and it was a huge hit! The kids loved it! Everything was beautiful and clean. All the guest raves about how appropriate it was for the kids and how much fun the kids were having. The booking progress was very straight forward and the timing of communication was excellent. Would 10/10 recommend and book again!.”

From the Set up to the take down. Everything went perfect to plan. I highly recommend The Soft Play Life!
All the kids at our special celebration were obsessed with the whole set up. This soft play is a must have at any party to keep the little ones entertained with something that is actually safe for them. The team at Soft Play Life were easy to work with and they also gave great suggestions on colors and themes

Thank you again for making our little one’s celebration extra special!
