Our values.
We're inclusive.
Every child deserves the chance to play, regardless of ability. We treat everyone respectfully and do what we can to learn and educate ourselves to provide the best experience possible.
We're a community.
This is a judgment-free zone. Everyone is on their own journey, and we are here to support and lean on each other. Modelling the behaviour we want our kids to see.
We're a safe place.
From the design and layout of the space to the selection of our toys and staff training, everything is about providing a stress-free place for fun!

Meet Trisha Ocampo / Founder
Introducing Trisha Ocampo, a dedicated wife and mother to two energetic boys. When she's not whipping up delicious treats in the kitchen or enjoying quality time with her dog, Soba, Trisha is on a mission to create a welcoming haven where fun, inclusivity, and care collide at The Cove Indoor Play.
Our family’s story.
In 1990, my family's world was forever changed when my youngest brother was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at the age of 3.
As he grew up, I watched as my brother was segregated into a separate classroom with other children who had various disabilities. Witnessing my mother's struggle to find the support and resources she needed for my brother was heart-wrenching. I remember feeling helpless as she battled embarrassment while fiercely advocating for my brother.
Even something as simple as going out for lunch would become a stressful experience. My mother overcompensated for my brother's needs, and my brother wanted nothing more than to be treated like everyone else.
I created The Cove Indoor Play so children of all abilities can play and learn together in a welcoming and accommodating space.
- Trisha Ocampo, Founder of The Cove Indoor Play
My family's experience inspired me to take action and create a safe and inclusive space for families like mine. As a mother, I have witnessed other parents going through similar challenges, and I don't want anyone to experience the stress and isolation my family did. I yearned for a more accepting and understanding community.
