Description

"Play is a natural form of self-expression, a medium for experimentation, communication and learning. Through independent play a child can make sense of feelings, frustrations and new experiences. Play can be joyful and care free but also serious work. Play can connect a child with his inner self, help families share and deepen friendships. Play can provide a way to express deep feelings, conflict, hopes and fears. It taps into the natural self-healing capacity of the child. Independent play is vital to every child's social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative development. It helps make learning concrete for all children and young people including those for whom verbal communication may be difficult." Play-therapist

Bio

As a 30 year old qualified Montessori directress, I started my business by applying all safety and valuable aspects to the products my company currently imports and sells to the South African market as well as to the whole of Africa. By being creative and having an absolute passion for the safety and well-being of children, this was a challenge to find affordable and child friendly products but proved to be a huge success once the products were introduced to the South African market. The current range from Shop Playpens includes playpens, pet frames, safety gates and barriers, foam puzzles, easels, kinetic sand, high chairs, outside games, safety straps, teething necklaces, mommy I-m here, tap extenders, potty training products, nannycams etc. Offering exceptional client service is of the highest importance to myself and my staff, and we strive to satisfy all our clients in the best possible way.
