We were told classrooms build brains.
Truth is… brains are built long before the desk.

“Play builds the brain that school later uses.” – Dr. Gordon Neufeld

Mud pies. Climbing trees. Bare feet. Endless imagination.

This is the real curriculum.

This is where brains are built. Where curiosity takes root. Where regulation begins.

Not in rows.
Not on worksheets.

Children aren’t designed to sit still for hours on end.
They’re wired to climb higher, get messier, play longer. 🌿

This isn’t a bonus.
It’s not enrichment.

It’s the foundation.

Tiny toys. Big messages. 🧸🗝️

In play therapy, symbols do the talking when words can’t.
A dinosaur might be fear.
A wall of blocks might be safety.
A tiny figure might be how the world feels right now.

Play is a child’s language — and symbols are the words.

✨ International Play Therapy Week ✨

Play is a child’s language.
Through play, children show us what they feel, need, and can’t yet put into words.

Play therapy creates safety, connection, and healing — one moment of play at a time 💛

🧸 Play is powerful.
🌱 Play is therapeutic.
