Founded by Moms.
Guided by Experts.
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.
