Bright Haven was founded by two moms, Dawn and Cindy, each raising autistic toddlers. After years of searching for a place where their boys were not only accepted, but truly celebrated, they realized Newfoundland was missing that kind of space. So, they created it — for their children, and for yours.

Today, Bright Haven is Newfoundland’s first fully inclusive sensory play and wellness centre, built around three zones: the Adventure Zone, the Calm Zone, and the Creative Zone. Bright Haven also aims to partner with local businesses and practitioners to bring a wide range of family-focused services under one roof — creating a true community hub where supports that are often hard to find in the neurodiverse world are accessible in one welcoming space.

Our mission is simple — to celebrate every child’s uniqueness and give families a safe, joyful place to play, connect, and belong.
