Meet the
    Founders

Co-Founder

JD Davy

As parents, we know how hard it can be to find balance — to stay connected to your spouse, your friends, or even just yourself while raising young kids. Recess was born from that everyday reality. We wanted to create a space that makes that truly possible — a secure environment where kids can play freely while adults can genuinely breathe for a minute without feeling like they’re on duty.

Co-Founder

Paul Rice

As a husband and father of three young boys, I know how hard it can be to balance everything that comes with raising a young family. Recess was created to give families the support they need to enjoy more intentional time together, in whatever way works best for them.
