Client Testimonial – Jessica & Harrison:
So happy to have found Wholeplay!! My son Harrison (2yrs) and I were looking for a place where he could socialize and interact with children his own age. We had looked into other programs, however I felt they were too formal and somewhat intimidating. From the first moment we entered Wholeplay we felt right at home. We were welcomed with a warm and relaxed environment, one with homemade huge comfy pillows, colorful and imaginative games and a catchy “Hoot! Hoot!” welcome song played on the guitar! All of the children grab an instrument of their choice and play along. It was so nice to know that if Harrison decided he didn’t want to sit in the circle, no big deal. He can come and go as he pleases and not an eyebrow raised. After a few songs and games the children have free play while the parents chat and listen as M.E. gives informative talks on the things that parents are needing help with. I am so happy to have a place to vent my frustrations and learn new and helpful skills to raise my child the way I always wanted to!!!!
Harrison looks forward every week to see his Wholeplay friends and so do I.
Thanks so much Wholeplay!!!!

Client Testimonial – Jennifer & Sydney:
I was looking for a group in my neighborhood that my daughter Sydney (now 15 months) and myself could attend. I came across some information about Wholeplay, and immediately my interest peeked. As I researched the program further on their website, I quickly connected to their philosophy and found their approach very appealing. I made a phone call that evening and had a wonderful and warm reception. We did a trial class, signed up and never looked back! Now Sydney absolutely adores her “Wee-Hoots” class. She loves the Hootie-Hoot puppets, the singing and all the beautiful toys. At home, we just have to start singing or humming the “Hoot-Hoot” song and she instantly lights up and breaks into a little dance of her own!
M.E. and Rebecca are wonderful facilitators and provide such a wonderful experience for us each week. With their expertise, guidance and relaxing style, I’ve learned about the many dimensions of “play” and how pivotal this is for a child’s development. The classes are inviting, informative and fun! The caregiver discussions are easy going, and offer great support and resources.
We look forward to seeing our Wholeplay friends every week and we love our experience each and every time! We are so delighted to be part of the Whole Play family and we look forward to growing together with you in the years to come!
Congratulations and Thank You!!
Jennifer and Sydney

Wholeplay is an excellent way to introduce your child to a variety of supervised social activities. Every topic of childrearing is open to discuss, anytime. Both ME and Rebecca will welcome you and your little one as though you are part of the family. As well, the organiser brings in specialists from an array of disciplines to further help explain the mysteries of new parenthood.This group is as important for your child as it is for the parent!
