Why Do You Love Working in the Art Museum District?

Poppins loves being part of Philadelphia’s Art Museum District because it’s a neighborhood that blends creativity, community, and curiosity—just like us. From stroller walks past the Rocky Steps to families picnicking along the Schuylkill, it’s a place where parenting feels vibrant and connected. We’re proud to support Philly families right in the heart of the city’s cultural pulse.

What was your inspiration for opening the business?

Poppins was co-founded by CEO Alex Stried (based in NJ and mom to 7 and 4 year old) and President Jenn Schoen (based right here in Philly and mom to 4 month old). We started Poppins for one reason: to provide families with the kind of support we wish we had for our own families. As locals to the area, we're thrilled to offer Poppins to families in Pennsylvania!
