“Play is not a trait. Brown eyes are a trait.”

I heard this statement once in my early-morning Peloton class, and it resonated with me. As I tried to catch my breath and drink some water, I thought about how play is not something that humans inherently do, like breathing and sneezing. Play is actually a skill.

I later accepted a supervisory position as a Head Teacher at Central Park Early Learning Center, where I supervised 7 special education preschool classrooms, consisting of students with multiple disabilities. During this part of my teaching journey, I worked with teachers to implement and execute Individualized Education Plans (IEP’s) for CPSE and CSE meetings. I also helped guide families in locating the most appropriate learning environment for their child.

Realizing my passion to work with children and their families, I accepted a position as an Early Intervention Home-Based Service Provider at YAI/NYL Life Start, an NYC-based nonprofit organization. As an Early Intervention Specialist, my main goal was – and still is – building a close relationship with my families and helping parents and caregivers to reinforce the gains made. I worked intensively with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to help children develop skills in the home setting and the outside world.

My love for teaching and strong desire to create change, even in the simplest of tasks, is how Kerri’s Kid’s Play2Learn came to life!

Kerri’s Kids Play2Learn is a therapeutic social skills playgroup for children with developmental differences in Roslyn, NY. I currently offer social skills playgroups, as well as Mommy and Me classes. Classes are offered throughout the week and on weekends, depending on availability. I continue to consult with families, provide private home/school-based therapy for children, and provide 1:1 support for students attending mainstream programs.

As the saying goes – “A great teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart!”
