A third place for families.

The Third Clover started with a feeling I think a lot of parents know. You love being a parent, but somewhere along the way, you realize how much you miss having a place that's yours, too.

After becoming a mom to Madeline, I found myself wishing there was somewhere we could go together. Somewhere she could explore, learn, and just be a kid, while I could enjoy a cup of coffee, have an actual conversation, and connect with other parents who were figuring it all out, too.

I've spent much of my career in education, and I've always believed that the spaces we create for people matter. That feeling of being welcomed, understood, and part of something is something I've wanted every child and family I've worked with to experience. Becoming a mom made me realize just how important that feeling is for parents, too.

That's really where The Third Clover came from. The idea of a third place, somewhere outside of home and work where people naturally come together, mixed with my hope of creating something special for families in our community.

I wanted to create a space that felt thoughtful and comfortable, where the little things were taken care of, friendships could happen naturally, and parents didn't have to choose between doing something for themselves and doing something for their kids.

My hope is that The Third Clover becomes a familiar part of your family's life. Somewhere you come for a class, a little shopping, a good conversation, or simply because you know you'll see a friendly face.

A place where grown-ups gather and kids belong.
