We’ve been to Volta many times, and I finally feel ready to share my experience as a mother who is always searching for places where my kids can play safely and *be themselves*.My boys love this place. They run, they climb, they explore >>for hours<< — and for once, I don’t feel like I have to hover every second. I can actually *breathe* for a day, sip my coffee while it’s still warm, and watch them grow in front of me. But motherhood is never just one thing — and neither is this space.I’ve seen staff there who are genuinely warm and attentive. They step in at the right moments and help create a safe space for the little ones. But I’ve also seen moments where the tone used with children felt *too harsh*, especially for such small kids.So here’s my honest reflection:**The play space is fantastic.****The concept is great.****The environment encourages independence.**But the staff approach can be inconsistent.And as mothers, we notice those things — not because we want perfection, but because we want kindness where our children learn, play and grow.Would I go again? Yes — because my children feel happy there, and because community spaces *evolve*. But I stay aware. I observe. I advocate quietly. And I remind myself that motherhood is an ongoing balance between letting go and staying present.If you’ve been, I’d love to hear your experience. We learn from each other — always.
