Play to learn. Learn to play.

Play is vital. It’s how children make sense of the world and do their most meaningful learning. We believe play should be self-directed, spontaneous, and unstructured—but recognize that sometimes families need a hand to make that happen. 

That’s where Playwell comes in.

For kids and their grownups.

Playwell is a community-centered space designed to encourage intentional play for children and provide support for busy parents.

Our Founder & Director

Martina Bottinelli’s love of children led her to the field of early childhood education, but it was her respect for children that led her to the philosophies that define Playwell’s unique offerings and approach to learning and play.
