About us

It all started with our founder, Grace, a dedicated speech therapist and former teacher. Through years of experience, she recognized that traditional therapy settings often fell short in nurturing children's diverse needs. She envisioned a dynamic space where learning unfolds naturally through play, therapy is tailored to each child's unique way of exploring the world, and every little one can chart their own path in an environment made just for them.

Now, that vision has grown into a vibrant community where every child can experience the joy of play, the thrill of learning, and the warmth of belonging.

Empowering little explorers, every day.

Our mission

To ignite every child's spark, fostering growth through play-based learning and personalized therapy support.

Our approach

At Chelsea Forest Play, we’ve created an inclusive space that combines fun, learning, and development through open play, engaging classes, and therapy services. We believe every child deserves a space to authentically be themselves, explore curiously, and grow at their own pace.
