Who We Are
We are early childhood experts, and parent educators who believe in the power of play.
Play is how children learn, and play is how parenting gets a lot more fun.
Little Play Lab was born from the needs of pandemic parents. After years of teaching and working with children, the COVID-19 pandemic showed us just how restorative play truly is, not just for children but for the adults who love them. Play connects. Play inspires. Play is essential. We created Little Play Lab to bring joy - and ease! - to parents lives by fostering inspired open-ended play and supporting community building for parents of young children.
