Little Sprouts Birth Story

In this warm and candid conversation, Adrienne Shea shares her journey of launching Milwaukee’s very first play café. After moving from Chicago, Adrienne found herself missing the abundance of child-friendly spaces she had grown accustomed to and saw an opportunity to bring something new to Milwaukee.

Adrienne shares the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, the milestones that made it all worth it, and her hopes for future ventures that better reflect her family’s evolving needs. Her story is a beautiful example of what happens when local moms take the lead and create the kind of spaces that bring families together.
