After operating a childcare business for more than a decade, Sabrina
Samuel decided to open another business that would complement the
services offered at her daycare center. Her vision was that of an
in-door play-space in which children could play in a safe environment,
expand their motor and social skills, and which would foster their
cognitive development. Sabrina's Play Studio is a 1,900-square-foot
play space designed for kids from infants up to age 9. The
well-organized facility looks like a giant rec room and is divided into
areas for different age groups. When Sabrina was planning the new
business, she consulted the SBDC about start-up costs, financing and
sources of capital. She got a loan from TD Bank and vendor equipment
financing, and also contributed equity to launch her new business.
Today, Sabrina’s Play Studio is in much demand. In addition to standard
play time, the center offers after-school programming, summer camp,
birthday parties, children’s yoga, and storytelling sessions. The
center also offers classes such as Mommy & Me, Movement through
Music.
