Hello

My Story

Hi, I'm Ashli! As a pediatric physician assistant, I’ve spent years working with families to help little ones stay healthy. But after becoming a mom myself, I saw just how hard it can be to find safe, affordable, and fun activities for young kids. When my son was born, I was determined to find a community that was supportive, fun, and easy to access without the pressures that can sometimes come with structured playgroups.

That’s when the idea for South Jersey Littles was born. I wanted to create something that felt warm, welcoming, and relaxed a space where parents and caregivers could just be. No judgment. No crazy schedules. Just real, everyday families connecting over the joys of watching our kids grow and thrive.

I know firsthand that parenting is full of surprises, and sometimes we just need a break or a place where we can connect with others who are going through the same things. That’s why every event we host is free and designed to support early childhood development in a simple, playful way. We keep things light and fun—whether it's sensory play, music, movement, or even a bubble dance party!

I created South Jersey Littles because I believe in the power of community. We all want the best for our kids, and sometimes the best thing we can offer is a chance to play, laugh, and just enjoy the little moments together. Whether you’re a first-time mom, a seasoned parent, or just looking for a new way to engage your child, this group is for you.

Here, you’ll find a space that encourages your child's growth, your own well-being, and the opportunity to build friendships with families who truly understand what it’s like to raise little ones. Come as you are no pressure, just play!
