Welcome to Play Makers

Mission:
Play is the foundation for learning, exploration and self-expression, but in a hurried, achievement-focused and technology driven world, opportunities for pure play are being minimized. Our mission is to inspire the joy of natural play in the lives of children, as it is the most essential element for children's social, emotional and relational well being. Through an unmatched blending of unique learning experiences with a profound respect for creative play, our goal is to provide children's enrichment programs of exceptional quality. Join us and celebrate the playfulness and joyous spirit of childhood!
Guiding Principles:
“One does not teach children, but rather creates a nurturing climate in which children can teach themselves through creative activity and instruction.” Dr. Maria Montessori
“It is absolutely essential that before we think, before we so much as begin to set our thinking in motion, we experience the condition of wonder.” Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf School
“The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much children learn all the time.” Magda Gerber
“There is great pressure on modern parents to push their children intellectually, physically and emotionally; destroying the spontaneous, creative and child-led play that truly leads to long-term academic success and emotional health.” The Hurried Child & The Power of Play, David Elkind
