How It All Started...
WELCOME! My name is Bianca N. Vinas Joy, I am a 36-year-old mother of 2, proud Puerto Rican and owner/ creator of Little World Play and Little World Playtown.
As a little background… on 2014 when our son was born we had to move from Puerto Rico in a state of emergency due to our son’s medical condition. Without any thought and hesitation, we left everything behind and in 1 month we had a one-way ticket to Lancaster PA. Lancaster, PA became our home for 9 years. A place we grew our family of 4 and a place I will cherish in my heart forever! Since the day we arrived to Lancaster, I noticed the lack of places and variety for the younger kids to enjoy during all year round. Not many places were targeted to infants, babies and preschoolers. As a mother with younger kids at the time, I knew I had to act. At the time I had other ideas in mind, but when I learned about the mobile playgrounds business my mind was just blown away. After 5 years in Lancaster and lots of research I decided to put my heart and soul into creating something that was unique, different and amazing for the entertainment of the little ones.
Little World Play mobile service was officially opened on December 2019… yes, 3 months before the famous Covid 19’ pandemic. A great way to start and open a kids entertainment business in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, right? However, this did not stop this mamma from believing in her dream and pursuing what she thought was going to be the start of something big. After surviving the hardship of a new business during covid (was able to operate only 2 years there) we were able to serve over 200 families/parties in PA. We traveled to so many states and counties, met so many amazing families and kids and we feel so proud of all we created and accomplish during those hard times. For sure, Little World Play brought laughter and memories to many families that will last forever!
On 2023 we had to say goodbye to Lancaster, PA. Due to family reasons we needed to come back home to Puerto Rico. For me, it was very hard to leave a place I called home for so long and where Little World Play was created and settled. However, we did what we needed to do. Along our move we brought our mobile service to Puerto Rico. Since our opening, we have been blessed with a very warm welcoming to the Island, we have served many great families and friends and we have grown. It has been a year since our move and I am so proud of all we have accomplished in such short time. We are now ready to expand and open our doors to our own brick and mortar location - Little World Playtonwn.
Long story short - Little World Play mobile service was born from the desire and idea of making an Indoor Play Café back in Lancaster, PA. As we can tell God’s plans were others - back then we only opened our mobile business. It is not until we are back home in Puerto Rico that I have taken the leap of faith to expand and accomplish my initial dream. Our brick and mortar location has opened and I am so happy to share this place I have created with so many amazing families. The first Indoor Play Café has arrived and we are so thrilled to have a space to share amazing family memories and to offer hours of fun and play in a safe space.
I confess…it has taken me a little bit to adjust, but for sure it is good to be back home. Our journey in the Island has begun and we cannot wait for what the future holds with Little World Play and Playtown! Hope this little pieces of me brings lots of joy to you and your family.
