Our Story
Two moms, three pets, one big idea.
Wild Wonder started the way most good ideas do — at home, with kids underfoot.
Who we are
Emily and Faith are wives, moms of two and pet parents to three. They are the family behind Wild Wonder, an indoor playspace being created in Rhode Island for children ages 1–6 and their grown-ups.
20
years in
food service
13
years in
education
Twenty years of hospitality. Thirteen years in the classroom.
Between them, Emily and Faith bring 20 years in food service and 13 years in education. Hospitality taught them how to make people feel welcome the moment they walk in. Education taught them how children learn — through play, movement and the freedom to try things. Wild Wonder is where those two worlds meet.
What we believe
“Be wild. Explore freely. Stay curious.”
I
Children get to be themselves.
Loud, quiet, fast, careful — every way of being little is welcome.
II
Grown-ups belong in the room.
Parents and caregivers are part of the play, not just the ride home.
III
Community is the point.
A place for Rhode Island families to find each other.
Our vision
Wild Wonder is being created around imagination, movement, curiosity, exploration, creativity, family connection and community. It's the space Emily and Faith wished existed for their own kids — and the one they're now building for yours.
