Paulding County Economic Development Press Release                                  March 11, 2025

ANTWERP – A new childcare-related business will be opening in the village.  Co-owners Sierra Halter and Cheyenne Brown are putting their history of childcare experiences and social work to good use by opening the SunnyPatch Playroom.

The SunnyPatch Playroom, LLC is an organized and nurturing space where children can go to learn, play, and grow in a nurturing environment.  The business was born from Halter and Brown’s shared dream of creating a space where families from all over the region can connect, play, and celebrate.

Founder Sierra Halter had a lifelong business dream and decided to combine business with her years of hands-on childcare experience.  Her childcare background will allow her to balance the new business operations with a deep commitment to fostering student creativity, emotional growth, and cognitive development.

Cheyenne Brown brings a social work background and combines that with a similar passion for creating positive childhood experiences.  Having years of experience supporting families, she understands the importance of family-friendly spaces.  Her shared creativity and love for children shape SunnyPatch into a joyful, imaginative playroom where families can connect, celebrate, and grow with each other.

Together, the passionate owners are dedicated to offering a safe, community environment where children can thrive.  The team will aim to attract children ages 1-6 years old but will offer a baby area for any child 12 months and under.  The hope is to grow the business enough to get bigger play equipment to attract kids 7-10 in the future.

Located at 201 South Main Street, they invite you to an open house on Saturday, April 5 from 10 am-3 pm.  The Playroom will then be open Monday through Thursday 8 am-3:30 pm; Friday 8 am-12 pm and Saturday from 8 am-10 pm.  There will be timeslots available on Fridays to reserve the space for private play sessions and on Saturdays or Sundays to celebrate birthdays or other parties.  You can learn more about the business through their Facebook or Instagram page.
