Imagination Play Areas
Little Valley Tiny Town
Our Tiny Town play area is a vibrant space where children can step into a world of make-believe. Whether they’re pretending to run a shop, care for pets, or be town explorers, this interactive environment encourages kids to use their imaginations and create their own stories. Imaginary play is key to building communication skills, fostering creativity, and helping children understand the world around them. In our Tiny Town, they can dream big, learn to role play, and develop a sense of independence—all while having fun!

Little Valley Park – Gross Motor Skills
Our gross motor play area is designed for active fun and physical development! Here, kids can climb, jump, and explore, engaging in activities that challenge their bodies and improve coordination, balance, and strength.

In this dynamic space, kids can release energy, enhance their motor skills, and enjoy the thrill of movement in a safe, engaging environment.

Meet The Owners
We are Courtney & Marya and our little girls are Millie & Cleo and we are thrilled to embark on this new adventure together and with all of you.
A little about us
First and foremost, both of us are new moms and being on this journey together has been so rewarding! Our girls are only 4 days apart in age and once they started getting a little older and more mobile we both quickly recognized the need for a play cafe in Knoxville and were inspired to bring this concept to life!
Courtney has an entrepreneurial background and a business degree. She and her husband are also the current owners of Token Game Tavern, Bit Burger and Space Bar! She met Marya when they first opened Token back in 2017 when they brought her on board and ever since, Marya has been a vital member of their team! Courtney has dedicated herself this last year to child development and hopes Little Valley will not only be a creative space but also a nurturing environment for young ones. Marya has a masters degree in voice performance and has extensive experience in stage performance and directing and hopes to bring a rich artistic dimension to Little Valley Play Cafe!
Little Valley is our dream for our girls! It’s everything we would want in a space for them to play, learn and grow! And with us both being working and stay at home moms at different times we also understand how important finding time and a space to get things done can be, or sometimes you just need a place to relax while your kids play or sometimes you REALLY just need out of the house to find another adult to talk to while your kids run off some energy. We hope our play cafe is exactly that for us and you.
Follow along for more updates! We can’t wait to start showing you all sneak peaks along the way!
