Hi, I’m Hailey!
I’m a mom of two and the heart behind The Playdate Crew.
Like so many parents, I wanted more than just playdates. I wanted a village.
A place where the conversations are real, the laughs are loud,
and lifelong friendships grow.
And just like that, The Playdate Crew was born.
What started as a handful of parents meeting at the park
has grown into a full-blown community with hundreds of families,
countless memories, and over 60 meetups (and counting).
We’re based in San Tan Valley, but you’ll find us everywhere:
Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa, Apache Junction.
Nowhere is off limits when it comes to making memories together.
I always joke that if you come to a playdate,
you just might leave with your new BFF, and honestly, it’s true.
From park playdates and Chill & Chats
to Big Day Out adventures, Family Socials, and Parents-Only Nights,
there’s something here for everyone.
My philosophy is simple:
parenting is better with people.
What We’re About
The Playdate Crew is all about connection; showing up, laughing through the chaos, and finding your people in this season of parenthood.
That photo? It’s one of my favorite memories: our day at USA Gym, where the kids climbed and tumbled their hearts out while parents cheered, chatted, and connected from the sidelines. Every meetup looks a little different, but the heart is always the same: real friendships, happy kids, and a community that just gets it.
