Our Story
Soft Modules for Kids was created by Alex and Oksana Yakymenko — Ukrainian immigrants who came to Washington seeking safety and a better future for their children.
In Ukraine, our family produced soft play and sports equipment. When the war forced us to leave Kramatorsk, we brought our skills and passion to the United States and rebuilt our workshop inside our Bothell garage.
Today our work has been recognized by local media.

What started with a few handmade pieces is now a trusted American-made brand serving families, daycares, and sports clubs across the U.S.
