Parent and Play Pathways

At Parent and Play Pathways, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. Founded and led by Tessa, an experienced Early Childhood Educator, and Emily, a qualified Social Worker and Play/Art Therapist, our programs bring together a wealth of knowledge in child development, early intervention, and creative therapies.

With over five years working within the child protection sector, we have seen first-hand the importance of nurturing children’s confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing from the earliest years. Our combined backgrounds allow us to bridge the gap between education and therapeutic support, offering families a holistic approach that celebrates each child’s individuality while building strong foundations for their future.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to creating safe, playful, and engaging spaces where children feel valued, parents feel supported, and families feel connected. Through evidence-based programs, creative experiences, and a focus on social-emotional learning, we aim to empower children with the skills they need to flourish at home, in school, and beyond.
