"Great Play has offered a safe, friendly and unique environment for both of our children.

"Great Play has helped significantly with my son's motor development and has enhanced his confidence in a way that has made him much more open to trying a whole range of sports. He looks forward to seeing the friendly, creative coaches each week--and he has a really fun time! It has really been invaluable, and we enrolled at a critical time in his development (age 3). He's almost five now, and still benefiting!" -Beth O'Donnell, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Riverside, CT

School Age Programs

"Great Play is a gym like NO OTHER. Where other similar gyms pretty much repeat the same activities week after week and let the kids learn on their own, Great Play's classes are always different and they teach skills so that the kids have a better grasp of how to do the activities correctly. My daughter has gone to Great Play since it's first week open and has loved it from the beginning.” -Rebecca Shaw, Stamford, CT

"My twin boys love Great Play and the coaches are wonderful with all the children. They keep them engaged and the activities teach them sports skills all while having a great time." -Joanna Napolitano, New Rochelle, NY

"Great Play is awesome. My kids love to go there and would go every day if they could. The coaches are so enthusiastic and attentive that I know the kids are having a great time, and learning good skills too. Plus with the class and open gym time, it's a lot better value than most other sports activities." -Beth Benincasa, Redmond WA

"Great Play has been an unexpected find for our family. I have never seen SUCH great big smiles on their faces as after completing their session. Between the wonderful instructors, great technology and upbeat music, it turns into a near magical experience for kids ... making "athletes" out of them to boot!" -J Cadenhead, New York
