Looking for a class where you and your child can engage in purposeful play while growing their speech, sensory and motor skills? Our program combines the expertise of highly trained speech and occupational therapists with the joys of playtime using obstacle courses, sensory bins, crafts, story-time and fine-motor activities. Our class is sure to be a fun and engaging learning and relationship-building experience for children and their caregivers. Whether you're looking for a challenge, need support or just a place to have fun, we meet every child where they are developmentally and can curate our class to all. Instructors: Christina Johnson and Alexis MarinChristina is a licensed Occupational Therapist and has been practicing since 2015.

She has two children, Rooney (girl, age 3) and Delta (boy, age 1) and is married to her husband, Matt.

Outside of the speech world, Alexis enjoys spending time outdoors exploring in and around Columbus with her two children Jayce and Ayla, partner John, and dog Nyla. She also enjoys self-development podcasts, DIYs, and trying local coffee shops.
