Our Story

 

Since our son Haven was born, he has truly lived up to his name by being our refuge and we have enjoyed seeing the world anew through his eyes. His zest for life is inspiring and we love watching his excitement as he learns new things every day through play. Haven inspired us to create this store, in order to help welcome newborn babies with keepsake gifts, to help children learn with quality educational toys that can become heirlooms, and to provide families with games and puzzles that can create opportunities for wholesome quality time. Healthy social interaction and imaginative play are crucial to help children develop naturally and counteract the harmful effects of excessive screen time. We believe the family that plays together, stays together.

Ayana, Haven's mom, comes from a family of educators including her mother, and the value of early childhood education and experiential learning was instilled in her growing up. Haven is currently enrolled in a Montessori Pre-K program and loving it! We realized we wanted to give home-schooling parents and teachers alike a great avenue to obtain a collection of toys suitable for a variety of learning styles, whether it be Montessori, Waldorf, or a traditional approach. You'll mostly find wooden toys here, and as sustainably sourced as possible.  Wooden toys are sturdier, last longer, connect children to a natural element, and keep their delicate skin from absorbing harmful chemicals from plastics. Wooden toys can also be passed down from child to child or generation to generation. 

John, Haven's dad, a former USAF auxiliary pilot and Aeromedic, is a lifelong car enthusiast and one of our favorite family pastimes is racing at a premier motorsports club track. On any given day you'll find Haven playing with with his diecast cars passed down from John's own collection, or zooming around on one of his ride on vehicles saying "vroom vroom". This boy is obsessed with wheels! We are happy to be able to share this fun passion with other families by offering nice collections of Ride On vehicles and Diecast Collectibles which can be played with now or displayed in cases and treasured for years to come. We have a great vintage collection for the car buffs in your family who love to reminisce about classic makes and models.
