our story
Our Founders, Caroline Wesnitzer and Rosalind Prather have been close friends since 1996 (Dare we say “The late 1900’s?”) and have been business partners in the Tucson community since 2011, when they opened their first company, Trusting Connections Nanny Agency. After expanding to the DFW and Phoenix Markets and becoming a nationally recognized brand in the nanny industry, the two momtrepreneurs decided they were ready to launch Timeless Play – a concept that only existed in their dreams for many years.
The River and Campbell location opened at the peak of COVID (impeccable timing, huh?) which was an unforeseen challenge to say the least. But that didn’t stop them from opening a second location at Oro Valley Marketplace so they could make their centers more convenient and accessible to even more families who have come to rely on Timeless Play for all kinds of childcare needs. We had a mom use us for just a few hours so she could go get chemo treatments. We have rockstar moms who are successfully juggling mommyhood and their own businesses with the help of our drop-in childcare options. We work with a dad that gets his daily bike ride in while his son gets quality playtime with our Play Experts who already feel like family. We even had a mom joyously admit that she was dropping her three kids off for a mental health day, complete with ice cream and Netflix and another mom who was grateful to give us her kids to love on so she could leave her partner. So whether you need to work from home in peace, hit the gym, go to a doctor’s appointment or file for divorce (totally kidding) we are here for you and hope your family becomes a part of our story.
Why We're Here
Vision
Mission
To provide a one-of-a-kind, drop-off play experience that addresses both the timeless need for kids to play and the modern challenges parents face.
Our unique, as-needed child care concept helps parents juggle work and home life while their children are engaged in much needed, non-electronic fun.
The Values We Live (And Play) By:
Creating a magical play environment for kids. Our Play Experts are dedicated to turning an ordinary day or toy into an extraordinary experience in a space that feels like home.
Being “sanity savers” for stressed/tired/busy moms and dads. By offering safe, convenient and high-quality care, we aim to be a place that gives parents peace of mind and enables them to take a break.
Positively impacting local families. By hosting date nights, camps, moms night out, family play days and other special events or programs, we aim to address the needs of parents in our community.
Our Play phiolosophy
Our approach to engaging with and entertaining kids is rooted in play-based learning – a philosophy that recognizes the immense value of play in a child’s social, emotional and cognitive development. We believe that in our fast-paced, technology-driven world, kids have forgotten how to play and that the best antidote to this sad reality is for them to be brought back to basics with a toy car race, a lego challenge, creative “make believe” expression or a good ‘ol fashioned board game. Our low, 6:1 ratio means that your child will be fully-engaged with our staff who are very much an active part of all the fun. Even without electronics, kids of all ages will enjoy the interactive experience led by Play Experts who turn ordinary toys into extraordinary experiences. Every hour and every day at Timeless Play is different as we rotate through six unique play centers – Let’s Pretend, Let’s Move, Let’s Game, Let’s Wonder, Let’s Create and Let’s Build. We have many regular Play Experts and guests so your child is sure to see a familiar face or two or make a new friend.
