Our Story
Hopscotch was dreamt and founded on personal experiences as a Big Sister of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada. As a Big I am frequently brainstorming on activities that my Little and I can do that don’t include a screen. One afternoon, like many others with my Little at my home. It dawned on me that as she ran around the backyard, laughing swinging on the swing, feet in the pool, playing with my dog Ginger that this was the solution.
Millions of families, many of them in apartments, condos, and rental homes have nowhere safe and private for their kids to just be kids. Public parks are often poorly maintained, unbearably hot, and don’t offer the kind of fenced, secure space that lets a parent actually relax and enjoy time with their child for an hour.
Meanwhile, beautiful backyards or spaces continue to sit empty and un-used across our neighborhoods every single day.
HOPSCOTCH is a platform where families can book private backyards and play spaces by the hour. Safe spaces where kids can run, play, and just be kids. Through Hopscotch we hope to create communities that empower and connect families, their children and space-sharers to foster joy and wellbeing in a world that is often dominated with digital stimulation.
We’re committed to making sure Hopscotch serves every child. A portion of every booking supports free and subsidized play sessions for kids in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, because every child deserves a place to play.
Hopscotch was founded in Las Vegas by Stephanie Hall & Eric Richardson. We’re a minority women-owned tech company, and we’re just getting started.
