Meet Claudia & Eliana Zeballos | Owners

We had the good fortune of connecting with Claudia & Eliana Zeballos and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Claudia & Eliana, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
While planning my daughter’s first birthday, we wanted something that she could enjoy. Soft play was the perfect thing for her party because it provided a safe and fun environment for her and her tiny friends. We loved the idea of being able to provide a safe space for toddler’s to enjoy their parties that could be set up anywhere. When we started planning our business we always kept safety in mind, we purchased different sets in different colors, all made out of soft and safe materials for small children. There are plenty of things that can be done for older children’s parties but not a lot for babies and toddlers that can be safe and fun. We love the ability to make a memorable experience for the parents and children. We always get amazing feedback, which makes what we do, so much more enjoyable.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
We have both graduated from FAU with bachelors degrees. Claudia works in compliance, Eliana in management. And we dedicate our weekends to our business where we provide fun to parties all around south Florida. We are learning the market and how to navigate this social media world to get our company more exposed. Since we have jobs aside from our company, one of our challenges is managing our time to dedicate to our company whether it be marketing, ordering items, taking appointments or running our books. We are learning as we grow and are excited for what the future holds.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If we had someone come and visit the area for a week. We would definitely take them to walk by the Pompano pier and visit Lucky Fish and take them for some ice cream. I would also take them to the Pompano Green marked and untapped which we often enjoy. As well as visit the discovery Museum in downtown fort lauderdale, some shopping at the Boca Town Center mall. And maybe make it up to West Palm Beach to Rapids water park.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The company and the whole idea behind it was solely inspired by Valentina (Claudia’s daughter). Planning for her first birthday, we wanted to provide a safe and fun activity for her and her friends, we came across soft play. Everyone loved it so much, it was the best part of her party and she got to enjoy her party which was the most important thing. We loved the idea of providing something safe and fun for toddlers to enjoy on their special day and decided to start our company.
