This play area was founded to provide a place for children of all ability levels to play and grow together which is such an amazing mission. I have seen special needs kids sometimes struggle in certain play areas and it can be sad seeing them really want to try something but unable to do so.

They offer an inclusive philosophy and believe that all children can benefit from their play space even if they do not have sensory processing disorders. I also think it really helps being inclusive because then kids are able to learn from each other and also be in a space where everyone can thrive together and understand the uniqueness of one another.
