Making a Difference
You won’t find batteries here, unless they’re in a flashlight...
At My Corner Playroom children and their play come first. We will not forfeit a child’s individual imagination and creativity for a “ready-made world”.
We light each child’s spark
for a lifetime of learning and skill building through simple, fun, uncomplicated, educational play experiences driven by them. Along the way, we promote respect, fairness, equality and responsibility for self, others and the world in which they live.
Our tools- a treasury of classic, open-ended, and constructive play toys, including a sit-in sandbox (typically, but not always-filled with rice!), climbing structures and dress-up props.
For parents and caregivers
we provide peace of mind
with flexible scheduling, fair pricing, a knowledgeable, supportive and helpful staff, and a safe, clean environment where children are loved, learning and having fun.
PLUS- WE HAVE
FREE PARKING!

More About Open Play
Open Play is the foundation of all My Corner Playroom Programming. It is the first and most important step toward play skill building for children. Yes- PLAYING IS A SKILL! While play comes naturally to children, it is an activity that translates to “real life”. It is the road children travel for development of social awareness, abstract and concrete concepts, problem-solving and more. It requires support, patience, consistency, practice and of course, time.
Children who participate daily in longer periods of uninterrupted, guided play build confidence in their abilities and take more risks positively affecting the development of more complex and advanced skill sets for life ahead. As a child’s play changes and grows, so too does the child.

More About Play Classes
Play Classes are named as such because they are play-based and offered during Open Play as a supplement to the “free play” experience. They are teacher led and structured to provide focus on specific disciplines or areas of development.
Moreover, Play Classes serve as a window into the world of Preschool. They are designed to act as a forum for introducing new ideas to children, for practicing familiar skills and concepts, developing new ones, and as a resource to enhance children’s independent play.
Like Open Play, there are no reservations required to attend. All children are welcome to attend all classes regardless of age. Parent/Caregiver supervision is required for all children 3 years and under. Older children may attend alone with teacher permission and if parent/caregiver remains on premises.
