About Us
Meet Our Village...
Say "Hi" to the Shadds
We are Corey & Misty Shadd with our three kids:
Hazen (age 9), Hutton (age 4) and Holland (age 2) and we have been in the Lebanon, TN area for almost ten years now. What began as a pipe dream in the notes section of my phone in 2020 has grown into the brick and mortar it is today! When we moved back to Lebanon in June of 2022, I joined a few mom's groups on Facebook and every week saw others posting looking for "mom friends." Many of these families had recently moved to the area and did not have immediate family close by to help care for the kids; very much like us!
​
There was such a need for something like The Village Play Place for community and bringing families together that, after bringing the idea back up to Corey, we decided to move forward! Now that pipe dream has become a reality.
​​
Here to Serve...
At its core, The Village Play Place was created to offer space for five important things: for kids, for parents, for celebrations, for education and for relevance.
A space that is safe for kids to play, learn and, frankly, just be kids. A space for the parents to find support, other same-stage families to go through life with and feel connected to their community.
A space for celebrating life's greatest & simplest moments. Not just birthdays or baby showers, but also a little one's first steps or when a child conquers their fears!
A space where families can learn about ongoing trends or hear from various health professionals to best help support their children.
Finally, a space for relevance. To not just form a community but one that listens to the needs of the families we serve.
We can't wait for you to find your village with us!
