how we started
I often get asked, “How did you get into playroom design?” and it happened twice today. So follow me for a quick trip down memory lane to bring new followers up to speed.
In 2017, pregnant with my first child, I left teaching in the classroom to start Greenwich Play, a consulting agency offering children and caregivers professional support and age-appropriate resources to develop healthy habits at home.
What started as preschool enrichment at home quickly evolved to play space design after numerous requests from clients to help conceptualize fun, engaging, and purposeful spaces for their children to learn and grow.
There is no shortage of momfluencers, interior designers, and organizational experts to advise. But, finding approachable information on setting up a purposeful and well-functioning playroom at home is scarce and my clients knew how much they could benefit from this specific support.
So, what is playroom design, and what are the benefits of hiring an expert like Greenwich Play to conceptualize your child’s play space?
When you provide children with a space at home that is thoughtfully and intentionally created just for them, they have the opportunity to explore their ideas and practice skills they are developing in a purposeful way.
Greenwich Play conceptualizes and executes a plan to provide your child with the space at home for purposeful play, whether that’s an entire basement or a small corner of the family room.
As an early childhood expert, I understand that when a room is designed with a specific child in mind, they aren’t consumed by overstimulation, inappropriate materials, or confusing organization. Instead, they connect to their unique learning patterns and interests through independent and stimulating play.
As grown-ups, it’s our job to guide our children to play independently and with intent. This begins with the environment we provide them with to learn and grow at home.
