You Are Invited to the Grand Opening of Theory of Play™

Re- inspiring Play in the Forgotten Age Group

By Ms. Ashley H. October 30, 2024

Celebrating their Grand Opening on Saturday, November 9th Theory Of Play, a small business on University Pkwy. Sarasota, Florida, is an extraordinary indoor playground designed specifically for young explorers aged 4.5 to 10. Away from the confines of digital screens, the establishment provides an enchanting and safe environment curated with stimulating playscapes, fostering individuality, creativity, and imaginative growth. The Theory Of Play experience revolves around self-directed play, enabling young minds to unleash their potential, supported by caring parents and T.O.P. leaders. At Theory Of Play, community spirit and personal discovery thrive under the shade, making it the ultimate hub for meaningful playtime that cultivates a joyful and vibrant childhood.

Theory Of Play knows their parents well and understands the balance of younger siblings and work. Their large Family Room (what others might call a waiting room) boasts areas of play for younger siblings and 3 work bars for parents balancing their day. Coffee, tea, and water are available and there is even a large room equipped with quality climbing, mirror play, toys and Books, as well as a space of rest for parents with children from newborn - 23 months; making your time just as valuable as children's playtime!

In their 3,000 sq ft oasis, your child can explore Main Street, the Pod Place, Social Motion, Discovery Den, the Chill Factory, and Art Alchemy rooms, all designed to provide hidden gains through the joy of play, while keeping the cognitive gains- a parent to facility secret. With your membership, your child can take part in exciting clubs, community outreach, and leadership opportunities, all designed to help them build lifelong friendships, essential life skills, and embrace the P.L.A.Y. values. These experiences foster kindness and contribute to a caring community, setting the stage for their future. 

With roots in the early education space, their leadership team and teammates have a great understanding of safety and care for the age group who is transitioning into Primary Years as well as the confidence and social-emotional benefits of a balanced transition when entering and exploring new spaces and opportunities. The Toddler Transition membership is designed for potty-trained toddlers starting at age 3 and is a pre-scheduled, 1 hr. per-week balance of directed and open-ended play with peers alike.  

At Theory of Play, your child’s safety and experience are top priority. With their hands-on, electronics-free policy, you can trust that their T.O.P. teammates—federally background screened—are dedicated to guiding and supporting your family. Their team encourages safe exploration, and fosters amazing outcomes for future leaders, through PLAY!
