I’m Taylor Carney, the owner of Schoolhouse Play & Cafe, and I want to share a little bit about my story. I’m a teacher with over 10 years of experience, but more importantly, I’m a mom who made the choice to stay home with my two kids. After spending so much time at home with them, I realized how much I wanted to keep doing what I love—teaching—while also creating a space where families like mine could connect and grow together. That’s when the idea for our parent-and-child classes came to life.

As a stay-at-home mom, I know how important it is to find moments of joy, learning, and connection in the midst of the everyday chaos. At Schoolhouse Play and Cafe, we offer a creative, supportive environment where you and your little ones can bond, learn, and thrive together.

This is just the beginning of our journey, and I’m so excited to see where it takes us. There’s so much more to come—more classes, more experiences, and more opportunities to grow alongside amazing families like yours. Stay tuned for what’s to come, and I can't wait to meet you and your kiddos soon!
