26 min - 190: Utilizing Visual Signs And Schedules To Facilitate Communication And Promote Inclusion
Visual signs and schedules are tools that use images, symbols, and/or words to provide information and instructions in a visual format.
They are commonly used in various settings, including indoor playgrounds, to help individuals with communication difficulties or cognitive disabilities understand their surroundings and what is expected of them.
And if you accommodate children that are under 5 or 6 years old– remember, they can’t yet read. So even if they do not have any disabilities, visual signs can help them follow the rules and behave safely in your space and it can help prevent tantrums and meltdowns in all kiddos.
Here are some examples of places you can utilize visual signs or schedules in your facility to enhance the experience of children, parents, and staff alike.

27 min - 189: 9 Things I Loved About Explore And More Children's Museum
Watch my VLOG: https://youtu.be/hD0fvihUs8k
A few weeks back I brought my 6 year old son to Explore and More Children's Museum in Buffalo New York after our plans to attend a hockey game were foiled. I took notes and video and wanted to share exactly what I loved abot the kids museum and what I took away from the experience as an indoor playground owner!
In this episode, I share how you can implement the same concepts regarding inclusivity and accessibility, universal design, business sponsorsips, different types of play, and so much more in your own indoor playground or play cafe business!

21 min - 188: When Customers Become Competition- More Tips For Handling Competition and "Copy Cat" Play Cafe Businesses
Running an indoor playground business can be a fulfilling and exciting experience. However, it can also be challenging, as all of you listening likely know, especially when a CUSTOMER expresses an interest in opening a similar business in the same area. While I recently made a YouTube video about this topic (linked below), I wanted to expand on that topic and provide some practical tips and daily strategies here in this episode.

29 min - 182: Is Your Scarcity Mindset Restricting Your Revenue?
A few weeks back I interviewed the amazing Amanda Bybel on this podcast and on YouTube, and we talked about money mindset and we also discussed the different insecure attachment styles we may have with our business, and she also gave us some tips for moving towards a place of more confidence and a more secure attachment style so we can start charging what we’re worth, prioritizing and valuing our time, and really growing and scaling our businesses.
I loved the conversation so much that I asked Amanda to do an additional 1-hour training just for Play Maker Society members, since every month they get their own advanced training that remains exclusive for members, and she generously agreed.
And again while the full training is just for Play Maker Society members, there was ONE little nugget of knowledge that I have just not been able to stop thinking about. In just a few short weeks it’s flipped my cost-benefit analysis process and decision making process on it’s head.
She said, when you have an opportunity to make an investment in your business, whether that’s a new tool or investing in a new skill or something similar, you should ask yourself, “Is this EXPENSIVE, or is it actually EXPANSIVE”?
In this episode, I share how women entrepreneurs and stay-at-home-parents tend to chronically undervalue their time and we also forget to factor OPPORTUNITY COST into the cost-benefit analysis equation. Plus, I give tips on how to move away from this mindset as an indoor playground or play cafe owner.
