MARY
Office Manager & Play Coach
I enjoy working with children and creating a fun environment that is tailored to the children’s needs and personalities. I truly love connecting with and learning so much from the amazing families I have met throughout the years, and I look forward to meeting many more at Play My Way. In my free time I enjoy long walks, baking, going to concerts, and having a fun night out with friends at Karaoke! I am fluent in English and Spanish and I am always looking to learn more languages!
JULIE
Play Coach
I am so excited to be a play coach at Play My Way! I look forward to making fun and memorable moments with everyone who comes through the door! I love working with kids and creating a space where they can have fun, feel safe and be themselves. When I am not working, I enjoy hiking, volunteering, reading and spending time with my four grown children.
ALEJANDRA
Art Director
I am an architect like my father, so I grew up highly motivated by Art, Design and Creativity. After exploring and working with glass, paint, ceramics and other materials, I established myself as a Mixed Media Artist. Then I got the beautiful opportunity to be a Special Needs Mixed Media Educator which changed my career and life. The special needs population teaches me how to be a better person and how to put all my heart in their hands. In my free time I love to cook and outdoor sports like running, mountain bike riding and spending time with my family. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish.
