About Us.

Welcome! I am Jessie Alvarado, owner of The Play Yard. I am a Galesburg native and recently moved back after living in Colorado for 9 years. I have an amazing fiancé, Buddy, two adorable daughters, Jade(5) and Penelope(2), and two dogs, Hank and Lulu. We love anything outside and spending time with family and friends. As a mother of two young children, I quickly saw the need for a place where parents and caregivers can take young children in Knox County.

I am very excited to bring The Play Yard to Knoxville and provide a fun place for young children and parents/caregivers.

 

“We want parents and caregivers to know they are bringing their children to a safe and clean space where they can meet other parents and caregivers.” - Jessica Alvarado, Owner
