“I started Play Mates because I know firsthand how isolating parenthood can be. As a single mom to a curious, energetic 4-year-old, I was craving connection—for both of us. I wanted a space where parents could feel seen and supported, and kids could just be kids, together. What started as a need became a mission—to build the community I wished I had.”
Chelsea Cooper
Founder, Play Mates
“As a single mom and small business owner, my days are full—but missing connection. Play Mates gave me and my 3-year-old a place to truly connect. She made her first real friends, and I found a community of parents who understand the juggle. It’s more than just play dates—it’s a support system I didn’t know I needed.”
