About Imagination City

As we grow up we are always asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Mine was

always simple. I wanted to work with kids! So I thought why not be a teacher? Early learning,

maybe Elementary school? As I continued through school I found I just didn’t like school. No

fault of my teachers as I had many amazing and patient teachers who had amazing patience

with me and my stubbornness. I may have been a difficult student as my attention span stuck

inside a classroom was short. So in my mind college wasn’t going to happen because that

meant more classrooms.

Then an amazing thing happened. I was pregnant with my first child. Becoming a parent

changes your perspective even more when you have your own. You become their person and

they depend on you for everything. Completely different perspective from watching other

people’s children and then giving that responsibility back over! I went from working full time to

being a stay at home mom. Then came the trail of all of the mom's self-doubt. Then came three

more kids and now trying to figure out fun, safe, and entertaining things to do with them. You

can only go to the park so many times and then Texas weather doing random things. There was

nowhere to take my littles! Why in a town that was growing and had a military base was there

nowhere for small kids to have fun, be contained, and for me not to be hyperventilating keeping

track of my four?

So why Imagination City?

So that we as parents can let our children have fun, safe from the weather, running off where we

can’t constantly keep track of them, and so that we as parents can remember what it’s like to be

a kid again and enjoy that quality time with our kids that will grow way too fast. So we can

continue to inspire their imaginations, foster their creativity, and strengthen our families.
