Child’s Play has been so incredibly helpful to me and my children. My daughter saw Katharyn for a... year before starting preschool, and I felt so much more comfortable with her starting school after having worked with her. She made my daughter enjoy coming for therapy, and her progress with speech was excellent. It felt like she was visiting a friend weekly. We’ve returned for the summer before kindergarten, and Bonnie is helping with her this time. Swayze and Andrea are so helpful and kind, and I’ve just really appreciated the professionalism yet kindness we receive whenever we are there.read more

I love this Therapy Center. We bounced around couple of places, before we were referred to them.... Everyone has been wonderful. I've never had a bad experience. Alisha, Swayze, and Parker have always been so nice when we check in or have questions. Katie helped us get onboard at the beginning, and it was so easy to get set up.We see Kathryn for Speech, and she has been so wonderful. She ranks as one of my son's most favorite people. He tells everyone at school about her, and is excited to go to therapy. She does such a fantastic job of coaxing him into the work through play, that he genuinely enjoys himself.I've had the opportunity to see a couple of the other Speech therapists, as well, once or twice. It's always been a positive experience. Everyone that we've met has been so great. Each therapist has their own persepective, personality, and approach, but my son has been receptive with everyone he's worked with.read more

The Chelsea location of Child’s Play is wonderful! The counselors and therapists are very kind,... personable, and helpful - making a difference for kids and parents. But the best part of this location is Elizabeth in the front office - from your first phone call to every question or need that arises through your time here. She listens well and immediately puts you at ease when you are trying to find the right fit for services for your child. She goes above and beyond to get to know and build relationships with everyone - clients, parents, and even siblings. It’s a joy to see her care for the families that come through here. It’s one thing to find great therapists, but having that plus someone as great as Elizabeth on the front end makes this location exceptional.read more
