What makes The Play Spot special?
“Christina & Alexis are absolutely amazing. Our son has enjoyed multiple Play Spot events over the past 6-9 months, and he looks forward to each and every class. Their activities are thoughtfully designed to engage children, stimulating age appropriate developmental opportunities. They teach new skills and enhance confidence, stimulate exploration and curiosity, and simply have fun! We can’t wait for the next series!”
“Christina & Alexis are incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and patient. Every week they create a welcoming environment for children of all abilities. Each session is thoughtfully planned with a variety of sensory and motor activities that promote their development in a fun and interactive way. I highly recommend The Play Spot to any family looking for a supportive and enriching experience for their child!
“As a former special ed teacher, I see the value in all of the fine motor, gross motor, sensory, and speech aspects of this play group. Ms. Alexis and Ms. Christina put a lot of work and attention to detail in each class. As a mom, I love that he can play with these creative sensory bins/experiences and I can leave the clean up to them! My 3-year-old son and I love coming to this group and will be back in the future!”
