Meet The Play Coaches
Dani & Wendy
The Play Coaches exist to bridge a gap between the community, parents, and caregivers. It was inspired by our love for emotional intelligence, cultivating wellbeing, and building social/emotional skills.
​
We have years of experience in early childhood. We are firm believers that together we can do more. Partnering with us gives you access to professionals who are compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced.
What are The Play Coaches?
Where Professional Development Meets Play
​
At The Play Coaches, we believe learning should be as joyful and hands-on for adults as it is for children. Ou high-energy, experimental trainings are designed to ignite creativity, deepen connection, and transform early childhood practice from the inside out.
We specialize in immersive, play-based professional development for early childhood educators, schools, and family programs. Our sessions aren't lectures - they're lived experiences. Participants get on the floor, get messy, and leave with practical strategies they can use immediately to nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional well-being in the children they serve.
