Real Parents, Real Reviews
“Each hands-on lesson that came home allowed me to understand my son’s learning process and see his way of thinking firsthand. Playful Learning even influenced how I decorate my son’s room and select which toys and books to buy. Helping me develop methods to further his creativity and build skills. Not to mention, I am more than happy to hang the artwork my son has made in the living room!”
