Our Philosophy: Prioritizing Imaginative Play
Our unique approach stems from the expertise of our co-founder, a special education teacher with a Master's degree in educational research and a focus on children's behavior. She saw a clear need to prioritize imaginative play over screen time.
We firmly believe that screen-free play is essential for development. As children climb, crawl, and explore our space, they naturally burn off energy and develop crucial cognitive and physical skills.
