It is so important for nannies and moms to have places that they can take the children for regular outings! This month we want to share Amaya Papaya with you! Run by a mom herself, Yolanda Tyler, you will find this indoor playground to be exceptional! Yolanda runs several mom groups and seeks to empower mothers while fostering a sense of community. She does just this with her spacious and clean indoor playground that includes scheduled events and activities. Amaya is a place where moms and nannies can come with confidence knowing that it is extremely clean, well maintained, and run professionally. Amaya Papaya is an especially great choice in the hot summer months when it is simply too humid for the park.
Let’s take a look at some of the things that you can expect from Amaya Papaya: Amaya has been open for ten years now building a solid reputation for a quality indoor play ground. One of the major perks is that it is specifically designed for children ages 0-6 years old. This allows it to be a safe environment for younger children to play, explore, and grow, without the worry of older kids running around. Nannies and moms will have the opportunity to connect with others who care for children in the same age groups allowing them to form friendships between themselves and the children. Amaya has nice lounge chairs for the adults so that they can take breaks and supervise their little ones as they play. Children have the opportunity to play, grow, and learn through hands on discovery, role playing, physical activity, and parent/child interaction. Amaya provides a relaxing environment that is earth friendly and maintains the highest standards of cleanliness. You may feel free to bring your own lunch to Amaya, and eat comfortably in their dining area. There are snacks available for purchase as well. Amaya Papaya also works with local vendors to provide different things for its guests throughout the year. Free WIFI is provided for the adults convenience.
Some of the basic rules to ensure that all guests are having the best possible time while staying safe are: Socks must be worn, and shoes must be removed. If you find yourself on a hectic day where you forgot to pack socks for your child who is wearing sandals, you can save yourself any extra errands by purchasing socks at Amaya! Sick children will not be permitted. It is best for everyone if your sick little one rests up and heals, and comes back for some fun at Amaya when they are healthy!
