PLAY Boutique offers child-oriented programs that emphasize independent learning through discovery, participation, and interaction with others. We provide a multi sensory approach to learning and developing new skills.
In addition to providing educational experiences through play, we also place an emphasis on the development of social skills such as cooperating and negotiating, sharing and taking turns, and guiding the children in their own decision making process. Children are given the help they need to learn to express themselves in appropriate and effective ways.

Parents are ultimately responsible for the care and well being of their children. The PLAY Educators are not intended to “baby sit, watch or care for” the children during these playtimes.
The age and stage of development of your child will determine the level of parent supervision and interaction that will be needed from you. Though many of the programs do not depend on parent participation, to ensure a quality environment for all we do require parent involvement when needed.
