The Modern Play Dilemma.
Children experience robust learning through play at school. But at home they often end up on screens or overcommitted to extracurriculars.
These days, pantries, bathrooms, and linen closets are being optimized through design and organization. Meanwhile, playrooms, the spaces that have the MOST potential to positively impact children’s development, are often chaotic and cluttered.
The Solution? Play At Home.
We blend our educator’s perspective with interior design to create in-home playrooms that are aesthetic AND engaging. Your kids will play for hours, without having to go anywhere. No carpool, no screen guilt. Just peace.
Play
It’s how children make sense of the world around them and sort through all the new ideas they encounter every day. When intrinsically motivated and sustained, play yields innumerable positive outcomes.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education
-
This approach recognizes three teachers in a child’s life: parent, educator, and environment. When thoughtfully outfitted with quality furnishings and materials, a play environment has the power to guide a child in their learning. We do just that!
-
The belief that there are many ways to communicate an idea. We primarily value written word in our Western context, but many mediums get a point across. Song, dance, painting, sculpting, and poetry are a few examples. We fill your playroom with diverse materials so your one-of-a-kind kid can discover what they're passionate about.
-
Rather than having one function, these materials can be used in many types of play. Often they are collections of repurposed items- think corks, buttons, clothespins, or marbles. Their adaptability makes them just as engaging for a two-year-old as an eight-year-old. Longevity? Yes, please!

Offering materials in a way that propels children into more complex research through play. Often they surprise us and begin exploring something completely new! We love sharing ways clients can provocate with their new playroom materials.
