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!
TAMMIE

Tammie is a San Diego Native. She has a passion for working with children and being creative. Never missing an opportunity to make someone smile, Tammie is creative and energetic. With a background as a behavior consultant working with kids on the spectrum, Tammie is flexible and always ready to do whatever she can to ensure everyone leaves happy!
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.

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.

Hi! I am a recent USD graduate with a goal of becoming an occupational therapist who has been working with children for six years. I am so thrilled to be working at Play My Way! Being apart of a space that allows and encourages everyone to be all that they are is truly incredible. I love getting to work and connect with kiddos and their families! I am energetic, flexible, and ready to wiggle or dance at any given moment! Outside of work I love long backpacking trips, baking, and being around my friends and family! I am truly thrilled to be apart of the Play My Way family :)) .
DAVID
Play Coach
I’m excited to be a Play Coach in this beautiful new indoor Playground!! Everything is soooo fun here! I Love the Zip line the most. It is exhilarating!
I have worked with children for 20 years and I still love to see the smiles and hear the laughter. All the people here are sooo nice, too! The coaches are great; all the parents are the best, most awesome parents ever! And it’s fun to watch new friendships being forged in fun. My interests include pizza, dinosaurs, magic and playing catch.
ALEJANDRA "ALEX"
Play Coach
Hi I'm Alex! Before coming to Play My Way, I was a preschool teacher. My passion for teaching guided me to study the Montessori Method, to help our kids reach their autonomy and explore their capabilities.
I love doing puzzles, playing Jenga and I'm really good at hide and seek.
I look forward to showcasing what I do best at Play My Way.
