What is PlayLab?
PlayLab is a unique and exciting membership site for busy parents which we hope will become your number one destination online and help to reduce your own screen time in the constant search for educational play ideas and parenting information.
It is a one-stop shop filled to the brim with useful ideas, articles, video tutorials, educational tips and resources, as well as a plethora of ideas for setting our invitations to play, learn and create!
PLAY: because we strongly uphold that play is the best way for children to develop and learn at all stages
LAB: because we’re mixing the essential ingredients to result in creative, playful and independent kids with happy, unstressed and confident parents!

Who
...is it designed for? PlayLab is for all parents and carers of young children. Those staying at home with small kids underfoot all day, those juggling a career and home life, and also for those with children at school.
Whether you are just getting started and seeking step-by-step guidance, looking for some time for yourself and also wanting the kids to be playing more independently or even a seasoned pro already confident in what you're doing who just needs some regular inspiration to add to their weekly plans - it's for ALL!
Which
...ages of children will this help with most? PlayLab is designed for parents and carers of young children of any age, primarily toddlers to the end of primary/ elementary school (approx 18 months-11.)
However there will be strategies for simplifying for babies and adapting to suit tweens. We will primarily talk about PRE-SCHOOLERS and AFTER-SCHOOLERS and since many of us have both of those simultaneously there will be plenty of natural cross-over and ideas to suit all.
Why
….do we need something like PlayLab? In this crazy, online modern world we are all suffering from information overload which can result in unnecessary amounts of fatigue, stress and parent guilt.
We often feel there is more we could be doing with our children, but we are lacking the knowledge and time to do it. We'd like to better understand the development that's going on, or what that current educational philosophy really means for our own kids.
We fear the over-use of screen time and want instead for our children to be happy, sociable, independent, creative and playful learners.
We want the same for our own kids and so the idea for PlayLab was born as a membership site with a difference. How about we take an experienced teacher with lots of small kids of her own, throw in some brilliant ideas for play and learning activities, create some fantastic how-to video tutorials, inspiring play ideas set ups and MasterClass sessions on child development and learning topics and make it all as user friendly and easy to access as possible around your busy schedule??
We’ve done all this (and more) and hope that you'll love how easy it is to implement some simple changes, add some play space and routines to make a really happy and playful home environment with less stress and more time for drinking your coffee! Plus you'll have the benefit of truly understanding the learning going on behind that play.

How?
… does it differ to just scrolling Pinterest and reading blogs? We all want to reduce our screen time and spend our time more intentionally.
PlayLab contains unique and inspiring content, neatly curated and easy for you to browse. Unlike the endless (often unrealistic) ideas of Pinterest, the ideas contained here will be expertly designed by an experienced teacher, easy to set up within minutes and play-tested for engagement.
The ideas are also delivered in very short, easy to watch and implement video segments each week, making it a lot more user friendly than the traditional website model.
When?
…does it open? PlayLab will re-open for registration on March 21st and stay open for just a few days.
We deliberately keep the sign up period short so that we can then get on with the great task of welcoming new members and focusing all our energy on PlayLab resources, material and support!
Together we are developing PlayLab into the best possible place to learn and thrive as confident parents of creative, playful and independent kids! Please come and join us in our wonderfully supportive, playful community.
Where?
….will it be? All of the activities, tutorials, discussion, videos, guidance and inspiration take place ONLINE within the exclusive PlayLab membership site forum.
It is password protected and you will have your own account. You will be able to work through the content in order, in your own time and re-visit it as often as you like, dipping in and out and building your knowledge, confidence and ideas as you do so!

PlayLab Details
How much does it cost?
The simple answer to this is, the same as a cup of coffee per week!
This is our second launch of PlayLab and we won’t be opening the doors again until September 2020.
We offer special deals for ANNUAL subscribers!
Surely this weekly support, educational advice and brilliant, unique ideas to use with your child are worth the price of a coffee?! Still not sure? I get it! I am terrible at making decisions and signing up for things. However, thankfully you don't have to take my word for it. Listen to what our current PlayLab members have to say!
What will I get?
- Play Foundations video training in 15 modules
- DIY "Make It" tutorial videos, tips and instructions
- 3 x weekly videos with simple set ups for Invitations to PLAY, LEARN and CREATE

- PlayLab Forum discussions and members' share thread on site
- Play and Learning Guides organised by themes and seasons
- Resources to download and print
Can I opt out?
OF COURSE you can choose to cancel your membership at ANY time. We hate those sneaky binding contracts as much as you do!
No tricks here. If you decide to stop being a part of PlayLab, you can simply email us to cancel your membership and whilst we can't do refunds, you will not be charged again.
You will no longer have access to the site but can obviously keep hold of any course materials you have downloaded :)
