Who we are

Hampton Children’s Playhouse is a not-for-profit, community-run play space created for families with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. We believe in the power of play, connection, and community.

Run by local parents since 1978, our Playhouse offers a safe and welcoming place for little ones to explore, create, and make friends. From indoor and outdoor play zones to fun craft activities and family events, there’s always something happening.

Every membership directly supports our Playhouse, helping us keep this special space thriving for local families.
