Child Researchers
As an early childhood development specialist myself, I have found that we can have the ability to make a positive impact on the lives of thousands (if not millions) of little ones, when we partner with companies and organizations. We can elevate the quality and quantity of play-based experiences for children and families. This is at the core of our passion and belief system, and it is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling to what we care most about. Together, let’s elevate play to new heights and cultivate rich, engaging experiences that inspire young minds and hearts. Join us on this exciting journey!
Inventors
We understand how the inventing process works and how hard it can be to land a concept into a product line. And sometimes the difference between it working and not working, can be small…a tweak to the play pattern, getting the content or performance just right for the targeted consumer, or reframing the positioning statement to genuinely connect with consumers…and brand teams. We can help at any point along the development process. We love to partner with inventors whether it’s beginning with an initial brainstorm or helping to bring your older concepts back to life.
Better Play = Better Business
We believe that when we create better play and entertainment experiences for children, it will not only benefit them but it will benefit the businesses, brands, and organizations who provide them.
Better play experiences are not only better for children’s development, but they can extend the child’s play time.
When kids play longer, they develop faster and stronger, and parents notice.
When parents are engaged, they are empowered.
A holistic approach to quality play experiences across the portfolio, including a diverse offering of essential play patterns, drives deeper engagement.
Quality play across the portfolio, instills trust and confidence with parents and gift givers and develops an affinity for the brand.
