About PLAY
PLAY began as a pop-up program offering sensory classes and birthday parties, and has since grown into a full and part-time early education center serving children from 3 months to 3 years old. Our program emphasizes hands-on, process-based learning and values the sensory, messy, and meaningful experiences that allow young children to truly engage with the world.
At PLAY, we're not just child-centered—we're people-centered. We're building a team of thoughtful, creative educators who value relationships, professional growth, and the joyful (and often messy) work of early childhood education.
