As an early childhood educator for over 10 years and a mom, Aileen saw the need for an interactive play space where children could learn and grow while also expanding their imaginations to the fullest.  After witnessing hundreds of children and her own daughter maximize their creativity while playing with stuffed animals and figures, she realized that this kind of play provided a comfortable avenue for children to share their stories, express their feelings, and be imaginative.  A passionate educator, she also wanted to create a place where children could grow in their language and social-emotional development while learning and having fun. 

Aileen holds a Masters in Early Childhood Education for Diverse Learners from George Mason University and a Bachelors in Psychology from Loyola University Maryland.  She lives in Falls Church with her loving husband and their sweet 5 year-old daughter.
