Welcome to The Hideout
Finding things to keep little ones occupied can be a challenge. Caregivers are always on the lookout for ways to connect with little ones in meaningful ways, a tall order at times. For families in the Brownsburg area, the solution to that conundrum comes by way of The Hideout.
Located at 554 Pit Road, Door 2, The Hideout was previously The Well Community Church and Center, a foundational space catered to families. Unfortunately, the church made the difficult decision to separate from the center. But fortunately for families, the Trietschs weren’t willing to see this important space disappear from the community. Together, along with their two daughters, the Trietschs converted the space to offer open play and community space to the residents of Brownsburg.
Specifically designed with families in mind, The Hideout is a play space with tons of options to keep little minds and bodies active. True to its motto, “Active minds. Playful hearts. Endless exploration,” The Hideout offers a variety of enrichment options for young kids. Currently, families can take advantage of open play times, along with enrichment classes that include Shine Out Kids Yoga classes, Little Notes with Nana (a mom-and-me music class) and Tiny Tumblers and Ninjas class.
“We felt called to take what they started and grow it into something even more expansive for families. From the beginning, we knew we didn’t want to be just an indoor play space. We love being a flexible space that can adapt to what families actually need. In many ways, October 2025 wasn’t just an opening date. It was the beginning of a new chapter for a space that already meant something to this community,” says Ashley Trietsch.
In addition to these classes, The Hideout is a great spot for private rentals, birthday parties, family gatherings, homeschool meetups and small celebrations. Ashley truly wants to be a destination and supportive place for families and caregivers. Free open play hours are offered Monday-Wednesday every week from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“As parents ourselves, we understand the ups and downs of raising kids. There are beautiful moments, and there are really hard ones. We wanted to create a space that feels safe, welcoming and supportive — where kids can play freely and caregivers can connect with others who understand the season they’re in,” she says.
And The Hideout isn’t just a business venture — it’s a family one too.
The Trietschs’ 6-year-old daughter Everleigh is the sole creative mind behind The Hideout Sensory Shop, a dedicated space where kids can create their own sensory play dough with little Everleigh leading the charge. The Trietschs have embraced this opportunity to teach Everleigh and 10-year-old daughter Adalynn about the advantages of creativity, entrepreneurship and community.
The Hideout is also a versatile space that allows families and professionals to connect in a safe, comfortable area. Private hangouts are available for groups up to 25 people in a space designed to be quiet and free from distraction. The private space comes furnished with tables, chairs, reliable Wi-Fi access, along with an interactive flat panel and large whiteboard to encourage collaboration.
“What makes The Hideout special is that it was built for people in community. From the beginning, we never wanted this to be just about a play structure or a business model. It’s about relationships. It’s about knowing names, seeing families week after week and creating a place where people feel known. Show up as yourself and lean on others in our community who can meet you exactly where you are, offering friendship, support, a listening ear or advice from moms who have been exactly where you are,” Ashley says.
