Meet the Founders

As working mothers and pediatric speech-language pathologists, we wanted more than childcare- we wanted a high-quality preschool where children could learn, play, and thrive in a nurturing environment.

​

With over 15 years of experience serving local families through Simply Therapy, our pediatric speech and occupational therapy practice, we designed Play Smart to combine exceptional early childhood education with a deep understanding of child development.
