🌟 Exciting News for Dayton Families! 🌟
More than an indoor playground, Dayton is getting a comprehensive solution for modern parenthood; a unique, family-centric space designed by parents for parents. With Montessori-inspired play, co-working and workout spaces, this woman and veteran-owned establishment is laying down roots to change the way parents approach productivity.

🌟 Designed by Parents for Parents 🌟
Meet the Wilson family – Kayla, Jake, and little Wyatt – the driving force behind Playground42.
Kayla, the founder, has a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Ever hungry for more education, she is currently pursuing her master’s in instructional design & technology. Before Kayla landed in Dayton, she served in the US Air Force for 8 years as a mental health counselor and moved around the US providing care to service members with mental health disorders and substance/alcohol disorders. Wanting to make more of an impact, Kayla and Jake went on to become foster parents and realized what an incredible feeling it was to have a direct hand in helping make kids’ lives better. When Kayla and Jake had their son in 2022, Kayla and Jake made the tough decision to have Kayla leave the military so they could stay rooted in Dayton long-term.
Now, as work-from-home parents with the desire to bypass daycare (not to mention the shortage of availability in our area), Kayla and Jake conducted an extensive search for a local indoor play studio where parents could work, exercise, unwind, or otherwise be productive while maintaining safe, controlled, direct supervised play over kids. After an exhaustive search for a local indoor play area that checks all these boxes, Kayla and Jake realized there was a notable gap in the community.
So, recognizing a distinct need in our community, Kayla decided to move forward with founding Playground42 with the support of her family. Playground42 is woman-owned and veteran-owned and isn’t just a business venture – it’s a vital solution for so many caregivers. This is a passion project, and the Wilsons are so thrilled to be able to share it with you and the rest of our community.
With your support, we can create a comfortable, high-quality, optimal, and versatile space where families can work, play, and connect.
