Welcome to Play 2 Learn!
Introduce your child to an amazing opportunity to grow and learn through various activities that support the developmental growth and readiness they need to succeed for school and in life. Here, we use pediatric occupational therapy skills to help children gain independence while also strengthening the development of fine/gross motor, visual motor and sensory motor skills that children need to function and socialize. With pre-made lesson plans, your child will get to participate in a group with other children specific to their age to support their developmental and social skills through early learning. Each group will support the goals younger children strive for by using a multi-sensory approach to learning.
