Goldsboro, N.C. – On May 30, The Wayne County Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 30th, to officially present Kidnetix NC, a new indoor playground designed to offer a safe, engaging, and developmental play space for young children in Goldsboro and the surrounding areas.
Kidnetix NC was founded by Sarah and Eric, local parents who were motivated by their personal experience with their daughter’s motor development delays. During the first two years of their daughter’s life, she underwent physical therapy to address these challenges. They found that traditional outdoor playgrounds often lacked the necessary controlled environment and safety features required for children who benefit from sensory-based motor activities. Recognizing the importance of such activities for physical growth and development, Sarah, who is a science teacher, combined her knowledge with Eric’s long-standing ambition to open a business, and together they worked to bring the concept of Kidnetix NC to life.
The indoor playground is thoughtfully designed with younger children in mind, providing a clean, safe, and controlled environment that encourages sensory exploration and physical activity. Located in Goldsboro, Kidnetix NC offers families a local option for indoor play that eliminates the need to travel to larger cities for similar facilities. The space is not only intended for casual visits but also caters to special occasions such as birthday parties, providing fun and family-friendly experiences for children of various ages.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by young families in Wayne County—especially those from military backgrounds, as Sarah’s family is—the founders envisioned Kidnetix NC as a place where children could thrive through play while caregivers have a relaxing and welcoming environment. The facility includes amenities such as snacks and refreshments to create a comfortable atmosphere for parents and caregivers. The playground is designed to accommodate families with multiple children, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their time in a safe, supervised setting.
Since beginning operations in January 2024, Kidnetix NC has been committed to fostering an environment that supports children’s development through sensory play, which has been shown to have numerous benefits, including improved motor skills, coordination, and social interaction. The founders emphasize the importance of providing a space that is as inviting and comfortable for parents as it is stimulating and fun for children.
As Kidnetix NC continues to grow within the community, it aims to become a trusted resource for families seeking quality indoor play options that promote health, development, and family connection. The ribbon-cutting event on May 30th will officially celebrate the opening of this innovative new facility.
