ABOUT US
Welcome to Playtime Paradise, the newest indoor play center set to open in the North Port area in late spring/ early summer of 2025!
Our Facility
At Playtime Paradise, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where children can learn through play. Our play center is tailored to children aged 0-7 years old and includes two distinct play areas: Our Little Explorers Zone, for ages 0-1, and our Big Explorers Zone, for ages 2-7; Both play areas provide a variety of engaging activities to promote creativity and social skills, ensuring that play is both age-appropriate and safe for everyone.
We also understand that parents need a comfortable space while their children play; that’s why we’ve included a cozy lounge area where parents can relax while keeping a watchful eye on their little ones with quick and easy access to the play areas.

The Owner
Meet Alice Accardi, the owner of Playtime Paradise.
Alice is a dedicated mother of three girls—Zoey, Chelsea, and Paisley—Alice’s journey into motherhood inspired her to step away from being a successful veterinary hospital manager, where she gained over a decade of experience in the veterinary field.
After the birth of her oldest daughter, Alice immersed herself in the world of parenting, joining a mommy and me group on Long Island. Through this community, she enjoyed numerous outings and frequented indoor play centers, sparking a dream to create one of her own. During the planning stage of her business, life took a turn when she discovered she was expecting twins, who would be 14 months apart from her daughter; This lead Alice and her husband Nick to realize they needed more space and support, prompting a move to Florida.
In Florida, Alice launched a thriving mommy and me group called Mamas and Minis SWFL, which highlighted the community’s significant need for an indoor play venue. As a mom of three young children, Alice understands the importance of children having socialization experiences outside the home and the challenges outdoor play can often bring. This lead Alice to reimagine her dream, ultimately bringing Playtime Paradise to life.
“It is my goal to make Playtime Paradise a place where children can explore, socialize and play freely while parents can relax knowing their little ones are having fun in a safe secure setting”
Meet Co-owner, Alexi Bell!
Alexi is the proud mom of two girls, Averie and Harlie. Originally from New Jersey, Alexi moved to Florida in March of 2024 for a fresh start with her high school sweet heart turned loving husband Mason and almost two year old daughter Averie. After settling into her new life in Florida, Alexi found herself lacking friendship in a place where she knew no one. She longed to not only make connections herself, but to fulfill the socialization needs of her daughter. She came across Mamas and Minis SWFL, a local mommy and me Group where she met the Alice, the groups founder. Quickly the two became inseparable and Alexi stepped up to be Co-admin of the mommy and me group.
Through Mamas and Minis SWFL, Alexi and Alice realized the need for a safe, indoor space within the community- a place not only for their own children to enjoy, but for all kids within the surrounding areas.
In August 2024 Alexi found out she was expecting her second child. The realization hit that this dream of creating an indoor play center for the community was now more important to her than ever; That’s when Alice and Alexi decided it was time to bring this dream to life; The stress of bringing another baby into the world, along with launching a full blown business was scary, but ultimately Alexi decided it was something she needed to be apart of.
In April of 2025 Alexi welcomed her second daughter Harlie- all while preparing to open Playtime Paradise Indoor Play Center.
Alexi hopes to bring a safe and fun environment to the families of North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and the surrounding areas, eliminating the need to travel to Sarasota or Ft. Meyers.
Playtime paradise has always been a dream for Alexi and she is thrilled to share it with everyone!
