From Speech Therapist To Multi-Location Inclusive Play Space Owner

From speech therapist to multi-location inclusive play space owner with Lindsay Teitelbaum from Spirited Play Labs in San Francisco, California! In this episode of The Profitable Play Podcast, I’m joined by Lindsay, the founder of Spirited Play Labs—an inclusive, membership-based indoor play space in the San Francisco Bay Area designed to support neurodivergent children and their families. Lindsay is a former speech therapist, a parent of a neurodivergent child, and she now identifies as neurodivergent herself—so this conversation blends real-life inclusion, sustainable operations, and multi-location growth. We talk about how Lindsay scaled from one play space location to three (with a fourth planned), how she built a team structure that allows her to stay out of daily operations, and why her staff and culture are the most defensible part of her business model. We also cover the behind-the-scenes of becoming a vendor with California’s Regional Center so certain families can have memberships covered—creating a B2B revenue stream and a strong referral engine If you want practical ideas around membership models, inclusive play design for your indoor playground business, staff training, customer experience consistency, and scaling beyond one location, this episode is for you.
