In this episode of The Profitable Play Podcast, I share a recorded coaching call with Rosie Lynch, founder of Wild Child Museum & Managerie, a non-profit indoor play space operating inside her local community center.We discuss the strategic advantages of starting in a low-overhead location — including building a loyal customer base, growing a healthy financial foundation, and securing community and business sponsors — before moving into a larger, more costly space.Topics covered include:Creating consistent revenue to support hiring paid staff over volunteer relianceIncreasing social media presence and local visibilityEvaluating future expansion opportunitiesLeveraging non-profit status to secure sponsors, grants, and community supportThis episode offers practical insights for play space owners interested in sustainable growth, community partnerships, and non-profit operations.Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyConnect with Wild Child Museum & Managerie: 🌐 Website: wildchildmuseum.org 📸 Instagram: @wildchildmuseum 📘 Facebook: Wild Child Museum & ManagerieOTHER RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele’s InstagramMichele’s WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: [email protected] TOOLS & OTHER LINKS:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: [email protected] TOOLS:Play Space Brain (Mention This Podcast For Special Pricing!)Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingActive Campaign Free TrialFree Demo of Aluvii All-In-One POS
