Things are taking a little longer than we anticipated but the finishline is quickly approaching! If you've ever had to assemble toys on Christmas Eve then you can appreciate all the time that goes into the entire preparation process. We're tightening all screws and disinfecting all surfaces. Our goal is to not only provide a kid friendly environment, but a clean one as well. A message will be forth coming on Monday with all the exciting details of our opening on Tuesday. I appreciate your patience throughout this lengthy process. We'll have a soft opening for the first month and a full grand opening celebration in the following weeks. I look forward to meeting your families.

The Possibilities and Anticipation
Every time Amaya and I visit Amaya Papaya she ask if we are bringing the toys over and if the kids are coming today. I gently remind her that Mr. Scott (our contractor; All Phase Construction) and his guys have to finish the build out before we can invite people in to play. She is very excited about all the possibilities that await her with the opening of Amaya Papaya.
Due to build out delays, our opening has been pushed back. I have now set a tentative grand opening for June 27, 2009. In the event that we are able to open before, I will keep you posted with the new date.
I am very thankful for all of your inquiries and well wishes about Amaya Papaya. It really helps me to know that there is a need for a place like this in our community. I will do my best to make sure that Amaya Papaya is a place that you will want to visit often and experience genuine organic experiences with your child.
Many of you have asked about ways that you can be involved with the evolution of Amaya Papaya. There are so many things to be done. If you would like to be involved in one of the following ways please contact me:
Like new Costume Exchange- do you have a dress up costume that your little one has not used since forever ago? We will give you 1 free admission coupon for each gently used costume that we are able to use. (we need 10 costumes)
Storytime reader- volunteer to read a book during our weekly story time. Time TBA.
Store setup- Are you good at putting furniture together? We will be setting up soon and would love to have a few people help.
Tell us about it! - Know of a cool item we should sell at Amaya Papaya?
Know of a cool program we should offer at Amaya Papaya?
Remember to PLAY!

What's going on with Amaya Papaya
Hello my fellow Amaya Papaya supporters,
I am sorry that we have been out of touch over the last month and a half. It has been such a busy month with the Holidays, Amaya's Birthday coming soon and planning for Amaya Papaya. I am currently searching for a new building for Amaya Papaya. Hopefully we will secure a building in the Casselberry area soon. I am working with a pair of brokers who thus far are doing a wonderful job at providing me with information about buildings in the area. We have been successful in narrowing down the search to 3 spaces that I like a lot. Hopefully this week we can begin the process of securing the lease and preparing to make plans to open Amaya Papaya. I am so grateful thus far that I have made connections with so many people throughout this process and hope to continue meeting new and exciting people that are as excited about Amaya Papaya as I am.
If you are interested or know someone who would be intersted in teaching a class or volunteering to read during storytime please leave a comment or email me so we can talk soon.
Please continue to spread the word about Amaya Papaya "where kids play and parents lounge".
Peace and Blessings
Yolonda

Katie's Faves
While attending the Kids Expo in Orlando this past summer I met Katie's mom Jen. I soon discovered that she was not only Katie's mom but a mom entrepreneur as well. She owns a really cool online kids retail business called Katie's Faves! After talking with her for a while that day, countless emails and phone calls later we have decided to partnered to provide Amaya Papaya customers with Katie's Faves.
Jen ......AND KATIE have traveled the US and scoured the Internet to search for earth friendly, USA made, parent created products thus providing you and I a great collection of items that kids want to have and parents want to buy!
Amaya Papaya will carry and/or have samples of items featured on the Katie's Faves website for you to purchase or custom order!
Until we are open please log onto Katie's Faves to see what the buzz is all about. While your their send, Jen a message to let her know that you heard about Katie's Faves on our blog or better yet purchase a FAVE!
