Give Your Child A Head Start With Play Sense

The Brand

Play Sense was co-founded in 2016 by best-selling author and parenting expert, Meg Faure, and university lecturer and founder of Nanny ‘n me, Lara Schoenfeld. As Occupational Therapists and mothers they wanted to give their children the best start to their learning journey. They developed an award-winning curriculum together with a unique micro school model to re-imagine early childhood education as a place for teachers and little ones to grow.

The Play Sense team is committed to empowering women to be entrepreneurs and actively supporting them to be successful in business. Our goals are to:

  • lead a paradigm shift in early childhood education that puts children& teachers at the center
  • support parents in raising confident, resilient little beings who have the super skills they need to thrive in tomorrow’s world
  • provide the gold standard in early childhood education
  • empower teachers with the opportunity to be their own boss and earn a lucrative income for half day

Our proprietary curriculum is developed to teach toddlers in an age-appropriate way. Research has proven that guided imaginary play is the best way children aged 2 to 4 learn language, social skills, and self-regulation.
