It’s Our Little Big World Out There!

OUR LITTLE BIG WORLD IS A FUN, exciting and welcoming play gallery that offers a plethora of activities for children from ages 3 to 11. The basic idea is an indoor park, but that hardly does justice to the wonders inside. There’s a huge jungle gym and seven club houses, each representing a different continent, and you can play, learn, and have fun without having to worry about rain, snow, or extreme temperatures.
I spoke to owner Kandice El about her creation. “It was a dream come true. I signed the lease on this place January 15 of last year, and here I am, a year later.” Our Little Big World has been open for business for the past two months. “One of my initial goals for this place was to show diversity.” Kandice explains. “That’s why we have the club houses with the continents. We want the kids to learn about culture, language and to see the purest (essence) of a person instead of race.” The long-range goal of ‘Our Little Big World’ is creating a learning institute where kids can come after school, do their homework, learn different languages, and play in unity with one another.
As I was looking around, two women came through the door with their little ones. I sat in the corner and observed while Kandice’s five-year old daughter greeted them, and then they all went off to play. It was interesting and heartwarming to witness a young girl be so receptive to new company so fast. I had the opportunity to speak to the moms that brought their children (first-timers, as it turns out) about their reasons for choosing Our Little Big World.
“The first thing I noticed was the art on the window. I have a five-year-old and a one-year-old and I’m always looking for stuff for them to do during the winter. I love how bright and colorful it is in here! It feels like home,” said Beth, who mirrored my own thoughts and feelings. I noticed a gentlemen mopping and vacuuming the floors, and I stopped to talk to him for a minute. He happened to be Bruce El, Kandice’s husband, and he had few words to say himself. “My wife had a dream and I had to get behind her and support her vision. People don’t do that nowadays,” he said. “If your dream isn’t working, then you have to get behind your partner’s dream.”
Kandice is trying to build an organization in hopes of branching out to Atlanta and Midtown Detroit, and she’s is constant pursuit of investors for her projects. She hopes that her clear vison of how she wants this program to function is attractive to investors, and she’s not afraid to step out on a limb and take a leap of faith to get the job done.
