Preparing Young Minds to Thrive in a Changing World​

WHAT IS PLAYWISELY®?

It’s all there in our name! We are all about playing. . . wisely! Experts know that early, age-appropriate stimulation is critical to your child's development. In fact, your child’s earliest experiences build key structures of the brain and cognitive tools used to make sense of the world for the rest of their lives.

We’ve taken the latest and most robust findings from science, academia and sport as it relates to childhood play and brain development to create an innovative curriculum that’s designed to optimize your child’s natural learning potential. We build your child's developmental 'tool chest' of skills and abilities that will help them make their way through this quickly changing world. So yes, it’s science. And, yes, it’s learning. But to your kids, it’s just plain fun! 

PLAYWISELY IS BASED IN RESEARCH

Research has shown that children’s earliest experiences build key structures of the brain that are used to make sense of the world for the rest of their lives.  PlayWisely has taken the latest and most robust findings from science, academia and sport as it relates to childhood play and brain development to create an innovative curriculum that’s designed to optimize your child’s natural learning potential. We build your child's developmental 'tool chest' of skills that will help them make their way through this rapidly changing world.

PlayWisely classes are fun-filled, action-packed adventures that engage the foundational learning skills for school readiness: attention, perception and memory. Age-appropriate movement activities build children’s body confidence, so when they discover a purpose, passion, or talent, they will have the tools to realize their dreams.  The best part about PlayWisely is that parents participate in each 35 minute session!

Beyond ABC's parent and child classes are founded in the PlayWisely method, bringing all of the key insights and research from science, education, and performance sports to help optimize a child's natural development. PlayWisely is the first developmental play system designed to optimize each child's natural learning and movement ability through each stage of development. The program takes advantage of the brain's early critical wiring period from birth to age five, when learning is most efficient and fun.


The Goal 

The PlayWisely goal is not to create baby geniuses but to foster a love of learning and developmental wellness that equips each child with a strong foundation to serve their future dreams and passions. No matter what a child aspires to do, the developmental tool chest of skills and abilities experienced in PlayWisely will last a lifetime.


Who is PlayWisely for? 

PlayWisely's curriculum targets children from birth to age 5 -- the brain’s early critical wiring period. We start with infant workshops from birth to 4 months old, and the classes begin at 4 months; they are based on either a child's age or stage of development.
