Meet the Founder
Ms. Kris'Nesha Wright
Kris'Nesha has always been passionate about providing care and experiences for children. She has served in various childcare roles and graduated with a bachelor's in early childhood education, with a strong background in serving the youth of the Mid-South.
She has been a peer child mentor, an early childhood teacher, and has spent the last four years as an elementary educator in Memphis, Tennessee.
She sees a need for providing families with quality childcare for caretakers that may need a break — whether that's to take a date night, run to the grocery store, or just enjoy a little "me time" — with the trust that their children are safe and comfortable at play.
Our Mission
Big play. Bigger hearts.
Playz 2 Be exists to give kids ages 5–12 a place to be loud, be silly, be brave, and be themselves — while families get a few hours to breathe.
What we believe
Play isn't a break from learning — it is learning. When kids climb, build, cook pretend pancakes, perform a song, or paint with their hands, they're growing confidence, friendships, and creativity. Our job is to protect that time fiercely and make it joyful.
Joy First
Every zone is designed for laughter, movement, and the kind of play kids remember.
Safety Always
Trained staff, secure check-in, allergy-aware snacks, and eyes on every zone.
Belonging for All
From quiet sensory days to loud karaoke nights — there's a place for every kid.
Imagination Forward
Pretend kitchens, dress-up stages, building zones — we fuel what kids invent.
What Sets Us Apart
Why families choose Playz 2 Be.
Founder-led by an educator
Ms. Kris'Nesha isn't just an owner — she's a certified early childhood educator with years in Memphis classrooms. She built this space based on what she knows kids actually need.
True drop-off convenience
Date night, grocery run, or just a quiet cup of coffee — you get time back while your child plays safely in a space built for them.
Built for the 'messy middle' ages
Too big for toddler gyms, too young to be home alone. We designed every zone for kids 5–12 — the age group most play spaces overlook.
Nine play zones under one roof
Indoor playground, pretend kitchen, performance stage, karaoke, art studio, building blocks, basketball hoops, movie lounge, and an iPad nook — variety keeps them engaged for hours.
Memphis roots, community heart
Born from serving Mid-South youth, we hire locally, partner with families, and shape everything we build around the community that raised us.
