The Village Calistoga offers a safe, engaging space for families to connect and enjoy quality time together.
Nestled in Napa Valley, renowned for its world-class wine and breathtaking landscapes, The Village Calistoga is redefining how families can experience the region. Founded by Faith Tedeschi, The Village is a family-first space where parents can relax and unwind while their children explore, learn, and grow. Faith’s vision for The Village arose from her personal need for a place where families could enjoy quality time together in an environment designed with their needs in mind.
From Need to Vision: Creating a Family-Focused Space
Like many parents in Napa Valley, Faith Tedeschi found that there were few spaces where both adults and children could enjoy their time together. While Napa Valley offers many adult-centered venues, there were limited options for families seeking meaningful experiences. “While there were plenty of places for adults to relax, there weren’t many where parents could unwind while their children were engaged in activities,” Faith explains.
In response to this gap, Faith envisioned The Village Calistoga, a play studio and community hub designed to meet the needs of both parents and children. The space offers a place where children can engage in early childhood development activities, while parents can enjoy a relaxing and comfortable environment.
A Purposeful Design for Family Enjoyment
What sets The Village Calistoga apart is its thoughtful design that focuses on both safety and sensory needs. The play area includes a rock-climbing wall, foam pit, sensory swings, and a reading tree, each element carefully chosen to provide an engaging and secure environment for children. The space is designed to be a “yes-space,” allowing children to explore, play, and learn at their own pace.
Equally important, the space has been created with parents in mind. A dedicated bar area serves local wines, and the layout ensures that parents can relax and enjoy the surroundings while keeping an eye on their children. With clear separation between the play areas and adult spaces, The Village provides a balanced environment where families can both bond and relax.
Fostering a Clean, Safe Environment
The Village is committed to ensuring a clean, safe space for all visitors. Every child plays in a socks-only area, with sanitizing stations placed throughout the facility. Faith explains, “We take hygiene seriously and maintain tight daily cleaning protocols, so parents can feel confident that their children are playing in a healthy environment.”
A Hub for Family Activities and Community Connections
In addition to the play area, The Village Calistoga offers a variety of programs designed to support early childhood development. These include open play, story time, sensory activities, and art and music classes. The activities are designed to be both fun and developmental, ensuring that children can grow and learn while playing.
The Village also hosts seasonal community events and private gatherings, further strengthening the sense of connection among families. With memberships available for local families, The Village offers perks like unlimited open play, early access to events, and discounts on various programs. This membership model is specifically designed to make it easy for families to return and enjoy The Village on a regular basis.
A Community-Focused Mission
The Village Calistoga is not just a business; it is a reflection of the values of the local community. Faith emphasizes, “At The Village, we’re not just serving families, we’re building a community.” The Village collaborates with local educators and small businesses to provide enriching experiences that foster connections and support early childhood development.
The Village Calistoga: A Family-Oriented Destination in Napa Valley
The Village Calistoga offers something unique in Napa Valley, a space where families can relax and engage in enriching activities together. It is not just another wine-tasting venue; it is a community-focused destination where families can gather, create memories, and enjoy time together in a space that prioritizes both fun and relaxation.
